Beach Plum -Prunus maritima

Native Perennial Deciduous Shrub that bears edible fruit, with lovely white flowers in April, May, June before the leaves appear and blue/purple plums in the summer that ripen from August to October and lovely fall foliage.  Grows up to 6 ft tall.  

It thrives in Full Sun with dry and sandy or gravelly soil 

They are happy next to the hot dry south side of a building or on the edge of a parking lot or drive way.  They are very low maintenance.  For more plums you should always have at least two plants.

Benefits: Special value to Native Bees and food for birds and other wildlife

Dried leaves are toxic to livestock
