Cherry Plum Seeds – 5 Count

Southern Seeds was founded in 2019 by Ryan and Kim Dorn and became Seed Therapy in 2025. The family business moved its operations to the Dallas, Texas, area in 2023. Drawing on generations of growing experience, the team focuses on dependable seeds, personal customer service, and helping gardeners succeed. Its work includes relationships with American farms and seed donations to schools and community gardens.

Bring four seasons of beauty to your landscape with the Cherry Plum tree. This hardy and beautiful heirloom, also known as Myrobalan Plum, is one of the first trees to burst into bloom in early spring, covering itself in a cloud of fragrant white flowers. The foliage emerges with a reddish-purple tint, and in mid-summer, the tree produces small, tart, cherry-like plums perfect for making jams and jellies. It's a fantastic, low-maintenance tree for any yard and a favorite of local wildlife.
