Double Flowering Plum:

Double Flowering Plum, 'Prunus triloba', is a hardy, vigorous growing, large shrub that is noted for its double pink flowers produced in profusion in April-May. These fully double hot pink flowers completely smother the branches in early spring long before the leaves emerge. It is a showstopper in May across in northern areas! Double Flowering Plum forms a rounded shape with medium green foliage in summer, and then develops a yellow-bronze fall color. It grows 10-12 feet in both height and width. It is hardy to zone 2, which means that it will reliably leaf out every year in pretty well the coldest parts of the Northscaping region. Double flowering plum needs lots of sun and lots of space to look its best. It will tolerate a wide range of soils as long as they are extremely well drained.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.

The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."
