Siberian Columnar Plum (Prunus x hybrid) YEREMINA

Columnar Siberian plum, intended mainly for northern growing areas with cold winters and unstable spring weather. Very valuable due to its excellent taste, adaptability, compact and slim growth and high resistance to disease and frost. An interspecific hybrid of Sand cherry (Prunus pumila var. Besseyi), Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) and Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera). Every home gardener will appreciate the narrow columnar shape of the canopy, thanks to which the tree does not take up too much space.
