Do ornamental plum trees bear fruit?
Plum trees (Prunus) that do not produce plums are known as ornamental, or flowering, plum trees. While these trees are bred not to bear fruit, they may, in fact, produce a small amount of fruit anyway.
Furthermore, can you eat ornamental plum tree fruit?
While chiefly ornamental, these trees also produce fruit resembling those on fruit trees. Fruit from ornamentals, such as crabapples and purple-leaved plums, are edible. However, the eating quality of some ornamental fruit is rather poor.
