Midsummer.
Uncertain parentage (perhaps Prunus salicina x P. cerasifera). Found growing near the shore on Long Island in Frenchboro, Maine. Bud wood sailed back to the mainland and was grown out at North Branch Farm in Monroe.
Dark purple 2½" fruit with very good flavor. This hardy discovery has shown no winter injury in cultivation offshore. Seems to be somewhat self-fertile, but plant at least one other variety of Japanese or hybrid plum for pollination. Zone 4.
