Author Topic: American Plum and Blackhaw Viburnum Bess of the Piedmont Super Gardener Member # 574 posted                       Our local conservation district is offers a selection of tree and shrub seedlings at great prices this time of year. Two that caught my eye for my dampish yard are Blackhaw Viburnum (Virburnum prunifolium) and American Plum (Prunus americana). I am finding it a bit of a challenge finding info on the American Plum. Has anyone grown either of these and might spare some advice? bbbbbbbbb Posts: 688 | From: Northern Virginia, U.S.A. | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 67.208.135.25 weezie13 Compost Queen!

They look nice. I was beginning to wonder if they were talking about Choke cherry (prunus viginiana), which is not nearly as pretty. Do you preserve the plums? bbbbbbbbb Posts: 688 | From: Northern Virginia, U.S.A. | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 67.208.135.25 weezie13 Compost Queen!
