The All Red Plum Tree is a miracle – a beautiful flowering tree that also produces a crop of delicious plums. Growing to around 25 feet in a decade or so, it starts the year with a glorious display of pink blossoms. Then the bright red leaves emerge, looking lovely and turning purple over the summer. Hidden beneath those leaves is a big crop of cherry plums, with red skin, red flesh and delicious flavors. They ripen in July and can be eaten fresh, baked into cakes or turned into preserves and jams.
- A truly dual-purpose flowering tree
- Garlanded with pink blooms in early spring
- Carries a crop of delicious purple plums in July
- Bold red leaves turn purple in summer
- Fruit is ideal for eating raw, baking or preserves
Plant the All Red Plum Tree in full sun for the best results. It grows and fruits well almost everywhere, even in zone 9, and grows in most soils, as long as they are well-drained. Pests and diseases are relatively unimportant, and no complex pruning is needed. This tree is also self-fertile, so you don’t even need to worry about having another variety around as a pollinator.
