Product Description:



Allegheny plum is a thicket-forming, small, understory tree  that grows up to 35 ft. with fragrant, white flowers in showy, flat-topped clusters occuring before the leaves in spring. The fruit ripens to a shiny, bright red in August or September and fall foliage ranges from electric red to pale yellow. Plums are eaten fresh and used in jellies and preserves, and are also consumed by many kinds of birds. Allegheny plum provides valuable nesting cover, is host to many butterflies, and is of special value to native bees. While not native to Ohio, the Allegheny Plum is native to states south of Ohio, making it a good choice to plant in preparation of warming climates.

Size: 12-18"
