Elvins Plum is a small flowering plum tree, grown for its spectacular display of white flowers which change to coral with age. The flowers cover the bare willowy branches from mid-spring. Good for small gardens.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Prunus Elvins prefers deep, fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.5-6.7. They dislike shallow, sandy or badly drained soils. Acid cherries tolerate some shade and are suitable as fan-trained trees against north-facing walls or fences, or as open centred bush trees. Best planted in full sunlight.
