It is exceedingly hardy Its propensity for early bearing Is such that
before it leaves the nursery row the limbs bend with the weight of fruit
until they sometimes break, and this is the case every year -- the
curculio having no effect upon it; the fruit is large, showy and of a
beautiful amber shade. One of the very best varieties; fruit rich, sweet
and a splendid dessert fruit. Ripens August first to fifteenth.
Japanese plums grow 15-20 feet with a somewhat wider spread. They
produce round to heart-shaped fruit ranging in color from green to
yellow and brilliant red to deep purple-black. Fruit is larger and juicier than
the European varieties and are mostly used for fresh fruit only. Plums
can grow in many soil types but do best in fertile, well-drained soil.
Periodic deep watering in summer months is advised, even though trees
are fairly drought tolerant
