More about cherry plum trees

Cherry plums are, as the name suggests, a half-way house between cherries and plums. They are mostly self-fertile, and easy to grow.

Cherry plums are generally classified in the species Prunus cerasifera but they inter-breed readily with other plum species and many are hybrids.

Like cherries they ripen very early in the summer, in June or early July. Also like cherries, and unlike plums, there is no need to thin cherry plums - the trees are generally productive but do not over-crop the way some plums tend to.

However in most other respects cherry plums are more like early-season Asian or Japanese plums. They have a similar rounded shape, and the flesh is usually dark red (but can also be yellow, like most European plums).
