Potted Toka Hybrid Plum Seedling

Species: Prunus sp
History: These seedlings are grown from plum seeds collected from our orchard and a Niagara orchard.
Why We Grow It: Since plums tend to stay true to type more than apples, these seedlings will likely bear a strong resemblance to their parents. For more information on each, check out the respective product pages for their parent varieties! If you prefer the certainty of named varieties, these seedlings would also be good for feeding wildlife or planting along fence lines.
