Canada Plum & American Plum vs Blue Moon Wisteria
Prunus nigra and americana
Wisteria macrostachya Blue Moon
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.
Blue Moon Wisteria is a striking, flowering vine, and the hardiest of the wisterias. Up to three times in one growing season you can expect showy, fragrant, lavender-blue flowers.
Make sure you plan your site as this vine requires a structure to support its mature weight. Try planting close to a post, trellis, or fence.
