Why Mount St. Helens Plum Trees?
Known for its small, light pink flowers and purple foliage that lasts through the summer, the Mount St. Helens Plum is a noteworthy showpiece in any yard or garden. And compared to other trees in this species, it's hardier and compact, making it ideal for growing in small spaces or in tough weather conditions.
Though it's famous for its aesthetic beauty, the Mount St. Helens delivers juicy plums in mid-summer. From fragrant spring flowers and summer purple leaves with fruit to deep, wine-colored fall foliage, the Mount St. Helens is a focal point favorite.
Tolerant of a wide range of harsh conditions, the Mount St. Helens is hardy down to -30 degrees, doesn't require a ton of water, and thrives in elevations up to 6,000 feet. When it comes to this versatile flowering plum, you get it all.

Pollination Info
Mount St. Helens® Plum Tree Pollination
Mount St. Helens® Plum Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Mount St. Helens® Plum Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your tree in well-draining soil and in full to partial sun.
Dig a hole that is twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Place your tree, backfill your soil and water to settle the roots. Mulch the surrounding soil to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: You will not likely need to water your tree unless you live in a very dry area with little irrigation. If you’re not sure when to water, check your surrounding soil about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water.
3. Fertilizing: During the first few years, you can add balanced fertilizer at the beginning of spring. However, it is not necessary to fertilize your tree once it begins to bear fruit.
4. Pruning: Your Mount St. Helens Plum Tree only requires light pruning in winter to get rid of dead branches. You can also do some additional pruning to lighten the branches or maintain a vase shape, but it is not necessary.

United StatesIt's Beautiful!
I am so impressed with the overall experience of Fast Growing Trees and the items I purchased. The packing was great. Delivery fast. Trees and vines are so healthy. This tree is doing great. I have it planted in my "chicken corral". The ladies will have a lovely place to get shade and eventually some snacks.

United StatesBeautiful
The first time tree was shipped it arrived all wilted but FastGrowingTrees promptly sent a gorgeous replacement. I love this company. They really care about their customers.
United StatesSkeptical of ordering trees online
I was concerned about ordering a tree on line so I only ordered one tree. I decided on a variety, Mount Saint Helens Plum, not available to me locally. Shipping took longer than expected but it seems that all shipping is delayed these days. The tree arrived in excellent condition, already sprouting leaves and flowers. Very well packaged and secure inside the box. I am very pleased with my experience overall and will order again as soon as I can figure out what to plant next.
