Wild Plum tree

Description This beautifully wrapped Wild Plum tree looks stunning in any garden and is treasured for its abundance of pale pink flowers which blossom in early spring. In autumn the deep-red, sweet plums can be eaten straight from the tree! This deciduous tree naturally sheds its leaves every autumn and will remain in its dormant phase all winter. Fresh, new leaves will grow in spring and it’s well worth the wait. Read more about deciduous trees here. You can upgrade your gift to a gorgeous hamper at checkout. Your tree gift will arrive with everything it needs to flourish. Details+ The Wild Plum tree is organically nurtured here, in The Present Tree’s gardens, where we never use harmful chemicals or pesticides. So when you place your order a Wild Plum tree, botanical name: Prunus cerasifera, will be freshly selected by our devoted gardeners before being carefully wrapped and placed in its luxury parcel. This Wild Plum tree is 35-55cm high, it is quite happy to be lightly pruned in early spring and may reach a height of 3 metres in 10 years, if allowed to grow naturally. An exclusively designed card with your personal message, the story of the Wild Plum tree's ancient symbolism and a full care guide is also enclosed with your gift. Add a personalised brass heart, star or plaque (see images) engraved with your message so this special gift is always remembered.  PLEASE NOTE Your parcel travels in a clear recyclable bag so the couriers and recipients are aware a living tree is inside it and must be opened as soon as possible. Symbolism In Celtic mythology the Plum tree is sacred and symbolises hope and happiness. Read more about the Wild Plum tree's symbolism here. Tree Care Every tree is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just natural daylight and water. We have added nutrients to your tree’s compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will release into the soil for several months to ensure your tree continues to flourish. Place your Wild Plum tree outside, in its natural environment, even in chilly winter. In a few weeks, plant your tree, still in its organic pot, in a large flower pot (one with holes so excess water can drain away) or in a sunny spot in the garden.  The Present Tree's Organic Plant Care Kit is packed with all the health-boosting goodness suitable for your Wild Plum tree.
