They lose their leaves in the dry season, but bloom around February -- very very tiny red flowers that come right off the "dead" looking branches. Then the plums form. They'll turn reddish eventually, but many people enjoy eating them green. Then the leaves come out. These trees also will start from hard-wood cuttings -- just stick them in dirt, even fairly large branches.mcmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351261987086690997noreply@blogger.com
