Description

Beach Plum is a versatile, ornamental shrub known for its fragrant white spring flowers and vibrant fruit. Clusters of delicate blooms emerge along the branches in mid-spring, creating a stunning display before the green foliage appears. As summer arrives, burgundy drupes with a silvery-blue sheen develop, adding beauty and attracting wildlife. In autumn, the foliage turns a brilliant orange, providing seasonal interest before the plant goes dormant.

Native to coastal regions, Beach Plum thrives in Massachusetts gardens, even in poor, sandy, or salty soils. Its natural, wandering growth habit makes it an excellent choice for erosion control, privacy screening, or naturalized landscapes. The fruit, while tart, is perfect for homemade jams and jellies. Hardy and low-maintenance, this resilient shrub is a standout in any garden.

Each plant comes in a #5 growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
