This partially self pollinating fruit tree produces sweet plums great for making into jam, baking and eating. They will produce more plums if planted next to another plum tree. They produce white flowers in spring while the leaves turn yellow in fall. It will grow 12-18 inches after its’ first year in the ground and will produce fruit in 3 years! Although the plum itself is safe to eat, it is important to note that parts of the tree such as the leaves, bark, seeds, and pits can be toxic to dogs, cats, horses, and humans.
