Not just plums but also Amur Cherry and an almond hybrid.

Many of the stone fruit trees (plum, cherry, apricot, mayday) are worth having just for their blossoms. But those guys are described over in the food forest section.

These generally are small trees or medium sized shrubs that are splendid in early spring, covered in white or pink blossoms. With many of them the blooms are ahead of the leaves. In summer they are a pleasant green tree or shrub. In fall most of them are anywhere from pink to burgundy.

Trees

Goldrush Amur Cherry/ Klondike Amur Cherry Hardy cultivar with loose clumps of white flowers in spring, and dark green leaves. But most of us love this tree for it's dark copper coloured peeling bark. Something that isn't grey in winter! Height 25 ft. by Width 15 feet.

Goldspur Amur Cherry A dwarf version of the above it only gets Height 15 ft. by Width 10 feet.

Amur cherries, like Maydays and chokecherries have clusters of tiny white blossoms in spring, and tiny cherrylike berries in late summer that only a bird can love.

Fall colour is a slightly orange red. Leaves are thin, so the light shines

Princess Kay Plum This is a double flowering American wild plum. (Prunus americana) The mutation that causes the extra blossoms makes it close to fruitless. Height 15 ft. by Width 10 feet.

Muckle Hybrid Plum Muckle plum is a hybrid between a japanese plum and a Russian almond. In spring it is covered with pink flowers. Height 15 ft. by Width 10 feet. This is a sterile tree that never has fruit.

Shubert Choke Cherry Clouds of tiny white flowers in spring. Leaves start out green, then in mid-summer turn purple. Height 25 ft. by Width 20 feet.

Shrubs

Double Flowering Plum A largish shrub 6-8 feet up and wide covered in pink flowers in early spring, and with orange leaves in fall.

Russian Almond A small shrub, about 3 feet with shiny narrow leaves and rose-red flowers in spring. Yes, it produces an almond about the size of a pencil eraser. Quite bitter.

If it's even vaguely edible it's over in Stone Fruit Apricots, in particular are very pretty trees with pink flowers in spring, and new leaves that are red, and red-orange fall colour.
