Plums

Picture
​Most plum varieties are a cross between Japanese and American plums. Planting two different plum varieties that flower simultaneously will not insure proper cross pollination, since European and Japanese varieties do not pollinate each other despite overlapping bloom time.
Use ‘Toka’ or native Prunus americana as a pollinator for Japanese x Americana plums.

​European plums are generally self-fertile.
