Outstanding display of double white flowers in early spring. 3a Princess Kay Plum is an excellent small tree in the landscape. The fragrance is very pleasant. Flowers turn pinkish as they age. The tree form is oval with a somewhat open informal branching habit.
Foliage is medium green and sometimes develops a reddish-purple fall color in early autumn.
Trunk and branches are almost black in color. The broad white horizontal lenticels are quite noticeable against the dark bark. Plant form and branch color add to the winter interest in the landscape. Adaptable to a range of soil conditions but not tolerant of poorly drained soils or extremely droughty soils. Requires full sun for good performance.
