Prunus maritima 'Premier'

Grow plums on the beach! Premier beach plum is a grafted American cultivar that produces tasty red plums when pollinized by another beach plum, such as Jersey. Tolerant of salty spray, it prefers sandy soil and offers us a delicious plum that tastes of strawberry, plum, and apricot. Beach plums bloom in early spring and ripen in August, though due to the variable nature of beach soils height and crop density may vary. Not recommended for the Pacific Northwest due to our short and cooler summers, these plums do fantastically well in the Northeastern climate of the United States.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Can I just cut the branches of the beach plum shorter so they won't grow over the driveway. How can I make our beach plums more bushy. They are very leggy. They are quite old, maybe 10 years.

    Cutting back the limbs to an outward facing bud every couple years will do it. As the tree ages the leggy branches will bulk up, but heading the secondary branches back will help prevent them from sagging as much. 

  • How big is the Premier Beach Plum plant? Is this the same as a Jersey Beach Plum?

    Yep! They are very similar in size.
