EUROPEAN PLUM WOOD
This wood is just wonderful with its wide range of color; varying from brown, to yellow, to pink, and even purple!
Often referred to as simply “Plum Wood”, this timber shares the same genus with many other fruit and nut trees. It is more like its cousins, peach and almond, than cherry, in its growth habit, trees are often small or even “shrubby”. Some European Plum trees bear thorns and all produce white flowers in the spring.
