Double Flowering Plum The Double Flowering Plum, Prunus triloba, is a handsome, hardy, vigorous growing small tree. This plum is noted for its double, bright pink flowers produced in profusion in April and May. Its medium green foliage in the summer changes to yellow-bronze in the fall. The flowers have both male and female organs and are pollinated by insects. This hardy plant thrives in a well-drained moisture-retentive loamy soil. It succeeds in sun to partial shade, but does best in full sun. Any pruning is best done soon after the plant has flowered. Plant as a specimen plant or in a buffer strip. The double flowering plum, which also goes by the name of Rose Tree of China, is a showstopper in May across the North. |
