Notes
'Madeleine' plum (Prunus domestica 'Madeleine') 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 blooms in early to late spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and cooking, and it ripens in mid season. It is partially self-fertile, so a second plum nearby may help fruit set.
Pairs well with Gala apple, Gladiator ornamental onion, Green Spice coral bells, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
