Plum,
Apricot, Nectarine, Peach, Cherry, and Almond
trees are all part of this tasty group. Not only
can you eat the fruits of the several deciduous
varieties, but most of the trees in this group
offer a spectacular show of spring hues. With
their attractive foliage and bark, some look
good year-round. Deciduous trees and shrubs
named "Flowering" are ornamental only.
Use the non-fruiting evergreen types as hedges,
screens or shade and street trees. Most won't
tolerate waterlogged soil, heat, or dryness.
Prone to several pests and diseases, so keep
them healthy and vigorous. Spray to control
pests and diseases when needed. Prune after
flowering to shape and remove diseased and dead
branches. Transplant in spring.
