Description
xThe Beach Plum (Prunus maritima) is a hardy, fruit-bearing shrub native to coastal regions, prized for its delicious small plums and ability to thrive in sandy, well-drained soils. This live bare root plant, measuring 12"-18", is perfect for USDA zones 3-9 and is highly adaptable to different growing conditions. In spring, it produces fragrant white blossoms, followed by tart, purple-red plums in late summer—great for fresh eating, jams, and preserves.
Ideal for edible landscaping, erosion control, and wildlife habitats, the Beach Plum is drought-tolerant once established and provides nectar for pollinators. Its compact growth habit makes it a great addition to gardens, orchards, and coastal landscapes. Plant this unique, low-maintenance shrub and enjoy its seasonal beauty and delicious fruit!
