Notes
'Wallis's Wonder' plum (Prunus domestica 'Wallis's Wonder') 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. Eric Wallis bred it in the 1960s. The erect tree grows at a moderate pace and blooms in early to late spring, which draws butterflies and bees. You can pick the plums late in the season and grow them for fresh eating.
Pairs well with Honeycrisp apple, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Green Spice coral bells.
