| Description |
Prunus umbellata is a small tree or large shrub that reaches a mature height of 20'High x 20"Wide under ideal conditions. It blooms profusely in early spring with a covering of white blooms before the plant leafs out. The plums mature late in the season, sometimes as late as September. They are smaller glaucous and range in color from yellow, red to purple. The plums are usually quite sour and are used for making jelly. They are a favorite of deer, turkey and bear. I have seen beautiful specimens in the wild that any one would want in their landscape.
