Prunus maritima
Description
Prunus maritima, commonly known as the beach plum, is a deciduous shrub native to the coastal areas of the northeastern United States. It is known for its resilience to sandy soils and salt spray, making it ideal for coastal gardens. The plant produces small, white flowers in spring, followed by edible, tart plums that are often used in preserves.
Suggested Uses
Beach plum is excellent for coastal landscaping, erosion control, and wildlife gardens. It is also suitable for hedgerows and can be used in culinary applications such as jams and jellies.
