Description
I looked out the window and there, on the trunk of the tree, were these lovely clinging blossoms. It appears that there is another one trying to grow about a foot and a half above it. Our tree has just the beautiful blossoms. This little blossom is one of the first to bloom every year.
Plumb trees are divided into fruiting varieties and ornamental or flowering varieties. Every kind sold locally as an ornamental or flowering plumb has purplish leaves, so the term purpleleaf plum is also used synonymously to signify decorative varieties. Several purpleleaf plums, however, not only bear attractive white or pink flowers, but also produce fruit so heavily that they've earned reputations as "edible ornamental plants." Examples of such purpleleaf edible-fruited plums include 'Allred', 'Hollywood', 'Trailblazer' and 'Spencer Hollywood'. All four varieties can produce plums for eating on a par with Japanese or European fruiting plums. Other purpleleaf plums such as 'Pissardii' and 'Thundercloud' also make plumbs, but not as many, or of inferior quality.
