Canada Plum & American Plum vs Snowball Viburnum
Viburnum opulus roseum
Prunus nigra and americana
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SOLD OUT
Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red.
Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.
Canada and American Plum are almost identical in appearance and growth needs. These plants are short and stout fruit trees native to North America.
This hardy ornamental is excellent for both city dwellings as well as rural areas. During the spring, the white and pink blossoms are long lasting. The tasty fruit is suitable for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. These trees are not widely distributed and pure seed can be hard to come by.
Both are commonly used as rootstock and are considered universal pollinizers for other plum varieties.
