Notes

'Early Rivers' plum (Prunus domestica 'Early Rivers') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens early in the season. Bees and butterflies visit the spring blooms. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second plum nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with Crab apple, Royal Star star magnolia, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Perennial candytuft.
