Stark® Beach Plum Tree

Grow small, tasty plums prized for jams and jellies. An asset to your landscape — fragrant white flowers in spring attract birds, bees, and butterflies. 3/4-inch fruit may vary from purplish-black to red when ripe. Natural bush-form can be pruned into a tree form if desired — simply remove low limbs and suckers to encourage singular trunk development. Keep pruned at a manageable size for easy harvest. Tolerant of poor soils. Beach plums, a North American native species, were first described circa late 1700s. Cold-hardy. Freestone. Ripens in late August. Seedling. Plant two or more of the same variety for proper pollination and larger crops. (Prunus maritima)
