Notes
'Katinka' plum (Prunus domestica 'Katinka') 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. Its blooms open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. The fruit ripens early in the season and is grown for fresh eating. The tree is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone.
Pairs well with Gertrude Jekyll rose, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Little bluestem.
