Low-Maintenance Flowering Plum Trees
Growing Flowering Plum trees is both easy and rewarding! Tolerant of full sun and some partial shade locations (especially afternoon shade in the hottest of their favored growing zone range), Plums are cold hardy down to USDA growing zones 2 through 5, and can handle hot hardiness zones up to zones 6,7, or even up to zone 9!
Plant in any well-draining soil with ample moisture during their first season in the ground, and you'll enjoy years of beauty and hardiness! For best results, add a 3-4 inch layer of mulch and annual pruning in the late winter or very early spring. Plum trees should not be planted too close to homes or other trees, as the roots and branches need plenty of room to spread.
Flowering Plum trees are fast-growing, and most flower very early in their life cycle, so the flowers may be enjoyed soon after planting. You'll attract loads of bees and butterflies as they seek out early spring sources of nectar and pollen! They also thrive in a variety of soil types. Many Ornamental Plums will produce very small fruits for wildlife!
These ornamental trees require very little maintenance and are so easy to grow!
