I must say, the Beach Plums are looking so good right now! It’s just one of our many native plants.
Did you know that we have 2 areas of the nursery devoted to natives? One is primarily trees and shrubs, the other dedicated to perennials. Just ask and we can point the way.
Featured is Beach Plum, Prunus maritima
