Yes, they're deciduous, so they lose their leaves in the winter. I hear--although have not seen yet (planted my purple leaf plum hedge this spring) --that the bare wood is a very dark purple color in the winter.

Purple leaf plum hedges can be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Prune by removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and shape the hedge to your desired height and width. Use sharp pruners to make clean cuts at a slight angle just above a bud or lateral branch.
