This plum has just flowered in a garden in Yackandandah. I have not noticed such densely profuse flowers on a plum before so hoping someone recognises the characteristic and can name it.

It appears to be a grafted plant and has grown as a small tree, currently about 2m tall (has been pruned to shape).Thanks for any help.

Black bark and lots of flowers, i'm going for "elvins"

So that's what Prunus 'elvins is supposed to look like. Thanks Bodhi. I have often heard of it but have obviously never taken any notice of them in flower.

I would say Elvins as well.

Another vote for "Elvins" - dark bark and the flush in the flowers. Well worth layering/digging/cutting/purloining. Seem to be finer in branching than "ume" or cerasifera, smaller in leaf, and nice simple flower.

Thanks Gavin,
Digging will not be on the cards - too ugly and coarse down low anyway but cuttings and a few grafts will definitely be done now that I know what potential it has.
Thanks all for helping even if it was such a common one

definately elvins. the flowers start white and fade to pink. easy to propogate too. last yesr i stuck a new shoot in soil next to my parent plant, no covering or anything, only placed in the shade and it grew roots within a few weeks
