Pembina vs wild hybrid plum seedlings
Two groups of variable plum seedlings: one from Pembina seed, the other from a mixed wild plum orchard.
From our listing
These plum trees were grown from Pembina seeds. The seedlings carry Pembina's cold hardy genetics but will vary in growth, fruit size, flavour, and other traits.
From our listing
Wild Plum seedlings from a mixed orchard combine Canada Wild Plum and American Wild Plum ancestry. Open pollination produces variation, and many seedlings show subtle traits from both species.

More about each choice
Pembina seedlings
These plum trees were grown from Pembina seeds. The seedlings carry Pembina's cold hardy genetics but will vary in growth, fruit size, flavour, and other traits.
Seedling variation creates opportunities to select new fruit qualities and adds genetic diversity to an orchard. The trees can also be used as rootstock for grafting other plum cultivars.
Wild hybrid seedlings
Wild Plum seedlings from a mixed orchard combine Canada Wild Plum and American Wild Plum ancestry. Open pollination produces variation, and many seedlings show subtle traits from both species.
These hardy trees can pollinate other plums and are also useful for wildlife plantings or as plum rootstock.
