We\u2019?\u2019ve already covered <a href=\"https:\/\/devostree.ca\/native-tree-of-the-week-pawpaw-tree\/\">an unusual fruit-bearing tree<\/a> in this series, but for this installment we\u2019ll examine a tree with a familiar name: the Canada Plum. This small tree, also called Horse Plum, is native to the southern parts of eastern Canada, and in addition to its prodigious fruit-bearing abilities, the Canada Plum boasts a showy display of fragrant white flowers each spring, which is one of the reasons why you can often find cultivars that have been developed as ornamentals.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canada Plum Description<\/h2>\n<p>Canada Plum trees are small, growing only up to around 9 meters high, and the crown is flat but irregular. Part of the Rose family, the tree often grows on the outskirts of forests and in thickets in the wild, and somewhat resembles the common rose bush with its thorny, tough branches. Also like the rose, the Canada Plum\u2019s flowers bloom in the midst of the thorns: little 5-petaled, dove-white flowers appear in bunches along branches at the same time as new leaf growth every spring. The leaves are alternate and toothed, 6-12 centimeters long and narrow quickly at a long, slender tip. The fruits are an orange-red, and they ripen somewhere between August and September. Pretty much every part of the Canada Plum tree other than the fruit contains hydrocyanic acid and can be poisonous to humans, including the stone or seed inside the fruits, so it\u2019s important to use caution when preparing plum fruits for consumption. The fruits can be eaten raw, and also make a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/natashaskitchen.com\/plum-jam-recipe-no-peel-no-pectin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">delightful, slightly sour jam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/devostree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Canada-plum-bark-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Canada plum bark\" class=\"wp-image-843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devostree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Canada-plum-bark-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/devostree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Canada-plum-bark-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/devostree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Canada-plum-bark-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/devostree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Canada-plum-bark.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canada Plum Tree Planting<\/h2>\n<p>Canada Plum trees like soils with plenty of lime, and they prefer well-drained soil and full sun. Because of their diminutive size they are a prime candidate for urban backyards where there is limited space. The trees are also susceptible to late frost damage; fences and garages provide excellent windblocks and protect the tree from cold winds. Young trees need water consistently, so if you experience dry weather for an extended time you should water your tree.<\/p>\n<p> If you have a plum tree that you would like some tree pruning completed <a href=\"https:\/\/devostree.ca\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/devostree.ca\/contact\">give us a call<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"et_social_bottom_trigger\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada Plum As much as all of us at DeVos Tree Care love trees for their natural beauty, their shade, and their environmental benefit, trees that also produce food for humans hold a special place in our hearts.
