beach plum
Shoreline fruit shrub
A beach plum is a shrub native to the Atlantic coast of North America, or its small, tart fruit.
The plums ripen in late summer and are prized for making jam and jelly: We picked beach plums along the dunes.
The plant thrives in sandy soil and salt spray where other fruit trees struggle.
