Plum Tree

Plum trees make lovely additions to the landscape Along with providing an abundance of fruit, they shine with ornamental qualities The colour of the blossoms, ranging from white to vibrant pink, arise in the spring months before the leaves or fruit As the leaves unfurl, they start off as a deep, reddish pink and age to a deep, glossy green as the summer months progress The juicy, tart plums can be eaten fresh or used in dishes In the fall months they turn deeper shades of purple, deepening to almost black When properly cared for, these trees can reach heights of up to 25 feet and with proper pruning, accentuate its picturesque form with densely-packed branches
