Dwarf Plum?
17 years ago
Can anyone identify this plant?
My son got it from his botany professor and gave it to me seven years ago. At the time I think he said it was a "Dwarf Plum" but I haven't been able to find any information on such a plant.
It is about 30 inches tall in a container and I keep it outdoors in the summer and indoors in winter. It occasionally gets a couple of small white flowers that smell very nice.
It also has a very good defense system - forked thorns that are about 1 1/2 inches long and very sharp!
