Plum, Beach
A native shrub that grows along the coast. Fast growing plant makes a great hedge, or can be pruned as a tree. Abundant white flowers in the spring give way to small (1”) fruits in the fall, ranging from yellow to dark purple. Tart plums make an excellent jam. Hardy to zone 3. Potted 12”-18”, requires another for pollination. Space 6’-10’ in full sun. Grow best in sandy, well-drained to dry soils.
Pollinators and other beneficial insects provide such important ecosystem services as controlling pest populations and pollinating our fruit trees and berry plants. In fact, there would be no fruit without them. Unfortunately, many are facing decline and need our help. Pollinator plants make great orchard companions. Not only are they beautiful, but they provide food and habitat for beneficial insects, and many are native to Vermont, thus increasing resilience in the landscape in the face of climate change.
Available for ON-FARM PICK UP only.
