Опис

Beach plum is a native Atlantic coastal shrub that thrives in sandy, salt-spray-exposed sites where few other fruits survive, making it invaluable for coastal and xeric gardens. The small (0.5–1 in), round fruits range from red to purple to blue at maturity in late summer and are traditionally used for preserves and jams on Cape Cod and Long Island. Plant at least two named cultivars such as 'Autumn' and 'Premier' for adequate cross-pollination, as seedlings are variable and often infertile. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape; heavy pruning reduces fruiting the following year. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 60–96 дюймів Висота: 48–96 дюймів Дні до схожості: 90–150 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 4–13°C
