Notes
'Geneva Mirabelle' damson plum (Prunus insititia 'Geneva Mirabelle') is a tree for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers attract bees and birds. The dual purpose fruit ripens in midseason. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second plum nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Greig's tulip, and Feather reed grass.
