Prunus domestica, the European plum is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. A deciduous tree, it includes many varieties of the fruit trees known as plums in English, though not all plums belong to this species. The greengages and damsons also belong to subspecies of P. domestica.
Plums are closely related to peaches and cherries and are widely eaten fresh. They first grew in China thousands of years ago. Then plums made their way to Japan, parts of Europe, and America. Plums are widely cultivated throughout the world, and many varieties are adapted to a range of soils and climatic conditions.

Growth Nutrition of Plum Tree
Plum trees thrive when macronutrients like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K) are present. Nitrogen helps encourage vegetative growth (leaves and branches). Phosphorus encourages root and blossom development.
Types of Plum Tree
Plum tree types vary and the type you choose depends largely on where you live because each type works best in certain climates. As a general rule, there are three main types of plum trees: American, Japanese, and European.
European plums are very hardy while Japanese plums tend to be more delicate. American plums are usually hybrids that combine the European tree’s hardiness with the great taste of the Japanese plums. These hybrids have even been known to survive extra-cold winters.
Japanese Plum Trees
Japanese plum trees actually originated in China and have very juicy flesh, although their taste isn’t as sweet as the European variety. If you’re interested in canning plums or eating them fresh off the tree, the best types to choose are the:
Satsuma plum, a large, sweet, dark red plum
Santa Rosa, a large plum with purple flesh and a red-crimson skin
Japanese plum trees get up to 30 feet in height and have evergreen leaves. They produce fruit in late winter to early spring.
European Plum Trees
One of the biggest advantages of European plums is their versatility as they can grow well in both cold and hot temperatures. They are high-quality plums that are extra sweet. Two of the most popular types include the:
Stanley, which is medium to large in size and perfect for canning, cooking, or eating fresh
Seneca, a very large purple plum that is oblong and extra sweet
