Prunus cerasifera 'SLO Red'
A red-leafed seedling of the leading ornamental plum Thundercloud. SLO Red was discovered by Doug Bullock in San Luis Obispo, California. Unlike its parent, it annually produces a good crop of small but tasty red fruit. Beautiful and bountiful!
Prefers slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually in June to shape and reduce suckering without stimulating more growth.
Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 4
Mature Height: 15'
Sun: Full Sun
Ripening Time: Early Midseason
Pollination: Self Fertile
Rootstock: St Julian
