Good day,
Purple leaf flowering plums (Prunus cerasifera) are normally grown as ornamental trees. However I have seen trees loaded with hundreds of little purple cherry-sized plums while others seem not to produce fruit at all. Would anyone know which variety of purple leaf plums will produce fruit more consistently or have knowledge for marking the tree produce more fruit. My family has been eating these plum for years but when we moved we left our tree behind. I know of some varieties such as Krauter Vesuvius, Mt Saint Helens, Newport, and Thundercloud which are listed as “little to no fruit” production but I cannot tell the difference between them because they all look identical. What is the difference in tree variety of purple leaf plums?
Thank you friends!
