Burgundy Plum Seeds - Fruit Plant

Plum is a deciduous fruit tree that develops an upright to spreading canopy with seasonal growth. Varieties such as Burgundy are suited to temperate climates and perform best in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. The plant adapts well to garden planting and requires a period of cooler temperatures for proper development. Most cultivated plums are propagated through grafting rather than true seeds, and consistent moisture supports healthy growth during the growing season.
