Notes
'Marjorie's Seedling' plum (Prunus domestica 'Marjorie's Seedling') 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. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers from early to late spring. The large purple fruit is grown for fresh eating and cooking, and it turns blue-black when ripe. Leave the plums on the tree longer for better flavor.
Pairs well with Crab apple, Nelly Moser clematis, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Sum and Substance hosta.
