One tree pollinates two others - this collection is built to bear fruit. Three Prairie-tough plums and a slim columnar apple, curated so the American Wild Plum handles cross-pollination for both the Patterson and Pembina plums right in the same planting. What's inside: 8025A - American Wild Plum - 1 Tree 8026A - Patterson Plum - 1 Tree 8023A - Pembina Plum - 1 Tree 7980A - Apple Northern Arrow Treasure Red - 1 Tree The pollination pairing is the backbone of this collection: Patterson Plum and Pembina Plum both require a wild plum to set fruit, and the American Wild Plum included here is rated one of the best pollinators for all hardy plums. That means two productive plum trees get what they need from a single companion already in the bundle. Add the Northern Arrow Treasure Red - a slim, upright columnar apple that tops out at only 3-4ft wide yet reaches ~15ft tall - and you have a compact four-tree orchard delivering deep-red freestone plums, sweet aromatic mid-season plums, and crisp cherry-red apples, all suitable for fresh eating, baking, jams, and preserves.
