Flowering Plum Tree (Prunus cerasifera)

Prunus cerasifera, commonly known as the cherry plum or Myrobalan plum, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub characterized by its rounded, spreading habit and early spring display of fragrant white or pale pink flowers. It features ovate, serrated green or purple foliage and produces small, edible drupes that are attractive to wildlife. Often used as an ornamental specimen or rootstock, it thrives in well-drained loamy soils and full sun, though it is susceptible to various pests.
