Muckle Plum

The Muckle Plum is hybrid between a Canadian Plum and Russian Almond. The tree explodes with a brilliant display of precocious pink flowers in early spring. The leaves are dark green and transition to a warm orange in the fall. The tree is very compact making it a perfect addition to smaller yards. Muckle plums will not grow any fruit so they considered to be very neat and tidy. The tree is cold hardy and makes a fine year around accent tree.
