Cheery 1½" red-purple-orange clingstone fruits with a waxy bloom. Yellow flesh is sweet and juicy, good for eating right off the tree, in jams, chutney, tarts or infused in vodka! Skin is a bit sour but not off-putting. Tree is upright, spreading and a prolific annual bearer. Bears around the last week of August in central Maine. The species is the northernmost plum in North America, native from Maine north and west to the prairies of Manitoba. Very cold hardy. Prunus americana and hybrid plums will pollinate it. Our friend Michele brought this plum to John’s annual grape arbor potluck. They were dazzling and delicious and when she said her tree bears year after year all by itself we couldn’t believe it. But it’s true! Z3. (3-6' bare-root trees)
