Prunus nigraExperimental Station, Morden, 1939. Seedling of Assiniboine. Seed was donated to Morden in 1922 by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Program.
Cheery 1½" red-purple-orange clingstone fruits with a waxy bloom. Yellow flesh is sweet and juicy, good for eating right off the tree, in jams, chutney, tarts or infused in vodka! Skin is a bit sour but not off-putting. Tree is upright, spreading and a prolific annual bearer. Bears around the last week of August in central Maine. The species is the northernmost plum in North America, native from Maine north and west to the prairies of Manitoba. Very cold hardy. Prunus americana and hybrid plums will pollinate it. Our friend Michele brought this plum to John’s annual grape arbor potluck. They were dazzling and delicious and when she said her tree bears year after year all by itself we couldn’t believe it. But it’s true! Z3. (3-6' bare-root trees)

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.
