MUCKLE PLUM  Prunus nigra × Prunus americana
• A hardy, early‑blooming hybrid plum valued for its profuse pink spring flowers and reliable performance in cold prairie climates, forming a rounded, compact tree with dense branching.
• Masses of fragrant pink blossoms appear very early in spring, providing an important nectar source for emerging pollinators and strong ornamental impact before leaf‑out.
• Produces occasional small fruit, but crops are typically light and not considered edible, making this primarily an ornamental selection with minimal fruit mess.
• Tough and adaptable, showing strong tolerance to drought, clay soils, wind exposure, and urban conditions; maintains a tidy form with minimal pruning and good disease resistance.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 3–4 m Height × 3–4 m Width
