The American plum grows as a large shrub or small tree, reaching up to 4.6 metres (15 feet). [12] It is adapted to coarse- and medium-textured soils, but not to fine soils (silt or clay). Beneficially, the shrub survives harsh winters, down to temperatures of -40 degrees (Fahrenheit); [ 13 ] but has little tolerance for shade, drought, or fire.
Whereas plumcots and apriplums are first-generation hybrids between a plum parent (P. salicina [1]) and an apricot (P. armeniaca), pluots and apriums are later-generations. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Both names "plumcot" and "apriplum" have been used for trees derived from a plum seed parent, and are therefore equivalent.
There is an important work of breeding and selection of new Japanese plum cultivars and varieties around the world from different breeding programs. As a result, the Community Plant Variety Office of the European Union (CPVO) registered 155 new Japanese plum cultivars from 1995 to 2021. [21] The table below presents a short list of varieties.

Trees that are cross-pollinated or pollinated via an insect pollinator produce more fruit than trees with flowers that just self-pollinate. [1] In fruit trees, bees are an essential part of the pollination process for the formation of fruit. [2] Pollination of fruit trees around the world has been highly studied for hundreds of years. [1] Much ...
Prunus nigra is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 10 metres (33 feet) tall with a trunk up to 25 centimetres (10 inches) in diameter, with a low-branched, dense crown of stiff, rigid, branches.
Prunus angustifolia, known commonly as Chickasaw plum, Cherokee plum, Florida sand plum, sandhill plum, or sand plum, [3] is a North American species of plum-bearing tree. . It was originally cultivated by Native Americans before the arrival of Europe
[12] [13] [14] Plant species which share pollinators are likely to flower synchronously, and the presence of a coflowering species can facilitate pollination in a species. [10] However, it is unclear whether group selection can act on a community to drive the evolution of synchrony in multiple species.
