Bring four seasons of beauty to your landscape with the Cherry Plum tree. This hardy and beautiful heirloom, also known as Myrobalan Plum, is one of the first trees to burst into bloom in early spring, covering itself in a cloud of fragrant white flowers. The foliage emerges with a reddish-purple tint, and in mid-summer, the tree produces small, tart, cherry-like plums perfect for making jams and jellies. It’s a fantastic, low-maintenance tree for any yard and a favorite of local wildlife.
