American Plum Seedling

Prunus americana 15-20' Not a hybrid, but included here since it may be the best pollinator for hybrid plums.

Seedling plum native to much of North America that grows in thickets and produces very decent red, yellow and orange 1" fruit, suitable for fresh eating, canning and freezing. Spectacular white bloom in spring is highly ornamental. Red fall color. Plant singly as a graceful specimen or let the branches intertwine with other plums for maximum pollination, with one American plum for every 3-4 hybrid trees. Tends to sucker freely. This tree stock is significantly larger than plum seedling rootstock.

Additional Information

Hybrid Plums

Hybrid plums require a second variety for pollination. The North American native plum Prunus americana is a particularly good pollinator for hybrid plums. Your plum trees can be planted close to form a thicket, or spaced 15–20' in an orchard setting.

At maturity, hybrid plums are roughly 15–20' tall.
