Prunus maritima - Beach Plum
$29.99
"Beach plum is a native,
flowering, often multi-stemmed shrub
which typically grows in a low
spreading manner to form dense thickets 3-8 ft tall (Silberhorn, 1999). Outside of its natural dune habitat and under ideal
conditions, a well-cared for beach plum shrub may reach heights of up to 18 ft (Miller, 2002). The deciduous shrub has
alternately arranged, finely toothed, egg-shaped leaves with acute tips." (Snell)
