Plum Fruit Trees come from one also known as Prunus domestica, and they will give you plenty of them after the first three to six years. When one of these deciduous plants is first planted, they'll appear shrub-like. However, it's important to note that most varieties are actually trees.

The Flowers Of The Plum Fruit Tree

Although most people plant one of these to receive free plums, there is a lot more for you to enjoy. For instance, they flower during the springtime. Each cluster of mostly white flowers also contains some light green, along with little yellow balls that attract pollinators. Interestingly, the flowers will appear before the foliage arrives. As clusters, there will be several clumps of flowers mashed together to create some visual appeal.

The Leaves Of The Plum Fruit Tree

Shortly after the flowers make their appearance, you'll begin to notice immature leaves. These leaves grow in little clusters, and their bright, vivid green coloring will transition into a slightly softer green as they age. Each leaf starts off larger at the base before tapering into almost a point. They have slightly ridged edgings, along with some natural variations in tone.

Once the flower clusters die away, they'll be replaced by plenty of fruits. These are spherical or oval in shape, and they grow up to three inches wide. It goes through a massive color change to help designate whether it's ripe or not. When it's green-toned, it is not ripe yet. When they're in this state, they can almost blend in with their surrounding leaves. Eventually, though, they'll change into a purple or reddish color. Not only will their new coloring make them pop, but it's also an indicator of ripeness.

There are two major categories of these trees: Santa Rosa and Methley. Within these categories are found subcategories, and the specific type you plant will determine the exact coloring of them. Regardless of which type you plant, though, you can look forward to having a large number of plums. They will basically pay for themselves over time, and they're quite attractive to boot!
