Overview
Dwarf Redheart Plum is a small, deciduous tree with a wide spreading, round crown. It has red-tinged foliage in spring and the leaves turn yellow and orange in the fall. Its mature height and spread reach up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It produces clusters of fragrant, white flowers in April-May, which later develop into dark red-purple plums. The deep red, juicy, sweet fruits ripen in summer and are superb for pies, jams, and wine. Dwarf Redheart Plum is easy to care for and hardy in most climates, making it an excellent addition to any garden.
