Black Plum

The Prunus domestica, commonly known as European Plum or Black Plum, is a deciduous fruit tree grown for its attractive foliage, spring flowers, and sweet, juicy plums. Dark-fruited cultivars can produce purple to nearly black fruits that are suitable for fresh eating, preserves, and desserts.

• Appearance: Develops into a medium-sized branching tree with green leaves, white spring flowers, and rounded to oval fruits that may mature to deep purple or almost black.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: Best suited as an outdoor fruit and landscape tree for gardens, orchards, compounds, and productive landscapes.
• Care: Prefers full sun, fertile well-draining soil, and regular watering during establishment and fruit development. Pruning helps maintain shape, airflow, and productivity.
• Benefits: Produces edible fruit, provides seasonal shade, attracts pollinators when flowering, and combines ornamental value with food production.
