Jersey Beach Plum

Grow plums on the beach! Jersey Beach plum, (Prunus maritima), is a grafted American cultivar that produces tasty red plums when pollinized by another beach plum, such as Premier. 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 ad crop density may vary. Not recommended for the Pacific Northwest, these plums do fantastically well in the Northeastern climate of the United States.
