Stunning golden-yellow skin is blushed dark red to pink when fully ripe—one of the most attractive plums in the orchard with fruit weighing in at just over an ounce. Amber flesh is meaty with unusual flavor notes of papaya and caramel. Ripens in mid-late September in central Maine. Seems to bloom around the same time as Toka.
Grower Jesse Stevens’ grafts survived a cold snap of –26° with only minor dieback. Highly vigorous growth. Semi-freestone and crack resistant. Z4. Maine Grown. (3–6' bare-root trees)

Hybrid plums require a second variety for pollination. The North American native plum Prunus americana is a particularly good pollinator for hybrid plums. Your plum trees can be planted close to form a thicket, or spaced 15–20' in an orchard setting.
At maturity, hybrid plums are roughly 15–20' tall.
