Prunus 'Elvins' Flowering plum

Common Name: Flowering Plum

Scientific Name: Prunus 'Elvins'

All elvins are grown in 90x90x150mm pots 

These trees are pruned regularly and may be partially defoliated to help with transpiration in transit.

There is a species of native bee in my area that will snip circles out of the leaves of these and wisteria, so no pesticides are used on these varieties of tree.

Description:
The Flowering Plum is a deciduous tree that typically grows to a height of 3-6 meters and a spread of 3-4 meters. It has an upright growth habit and a rounded canopy with a spread that is roughly equal to its height. The tree has glossy, dark green leaves that are ovate in shape, measuring 5-8 centimetres (2-3 inches) long and 3-5 centimetres (1-2 inches) wide. In early spring, it produces clusters of small, white flowers that change to pink that cover the entire tree before the leaves emerge. The flowers are followed by small, edible, plum-like fruits that mature in late summer.

Soil pH: The Flowering Plum is adaptable to a wide range of soil types but prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil with a pH range between 6.0 to 7.5.

Growth Habit: The Flowering Plum has an upright, vase-shaped growth habit when young, which becomes more rounded with age. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of drought and pollution.

Growth Rate: The Flowering Plum has a moderate growth rate and can grow up to 30-60 centimetres (1-2 feet) per year under ideal growing conditions. However, its growth rate can vary depending on its location, soil, and other growing conditions.

Overall, the Flowering Plum is an attractive tree that is prized for its beautiful whitey/pink flowers and ornamental value. It is easy to grow and requires minimal maintenance once established. With its upright growth habit and rounded canopy, it is a great choice for any landscape.
