The Flowering hedge
- Zone 4
Characteristics of the tree
Planted every five feet, plum trees make a splendid flowering hedge throughout the month of May – filling your land and your neighbourhood with perfume. There is hardly a sight more delightful than plum trees in flower, making a beautiful start to the summer.
This package includes:
This package includes 10 plum trees, which we suggest planting 5 feet (1.5 meters) apart. This will ensure a substantial hedge within a few years.
Planted at this distance, this package will cover 50 feet (15 meters). Therefore, if you have a a longer space to cover, you will need to purchase enough for your land – if you want a 150-foot hedge (or 45 meters), you will need 3 packages, for example.
This package contains 10 plum seedlings made up of a mix of wild plums. While they can certainly be grown for the fruit, that need not be the only consideration. Other uses could be: adding diversity to the landscape, creating a stunning flowering hedge, improving pollination for grafted cultivars, nourishing the fauna, and as decorative specimens.
The trees in this package are offered at a 50% discount.
