Wild Plum Tree's Characteristics

The tree typically grows 20-30 feet tall and spreads 15-20 feet. Its upright, rounded form is known for its graceful, drooping branches. The leaves are glossy green, turning to a stunning yellow-orange in the Fall (End of October). The tree is covered in Spring 2024's fragrant white or pink blossoms, attracting bees and pollinators.

Wild Plum Tree's Fruit

One of the critical features of Wild Plum Tree is its delicious fruit. The plums are small, about the size of a cherry, and are typically ready to harvest in late summer. They are deep red or purple and have a sweet, juicy flavor. The fruit is excellent for eating fresh, making jams or jellies, or baking into pies.

Wild Plum Tree's Requirements

The tree is relatively easy to grow and care for. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil but can tolerate some shade and moisture. It is essential to plant the tree in a location protected from strong winds and to water it regularly during the first few years after planting. Pruning is also necessary to maintain the tree's shape and health.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
