Prunus spp. Midsummer. P. cerasifera × P. salicina. Origin obscure but cataloged at the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens, Republic of Crimea.
Purple-red fruit with yellow-bleeding-to-red sweet firm flesh is excellent fresh eating. Grower Jesse Stevens says it has “skin less sour than many other hybrids, but still a good amount of zing.” Seems plenty hardy once established with good pest and disease resistance.
Blooms early and pairs well for pollination with Lavina and Purple Heart. Ripens mid-August in central Maine. Highmoor Farm, UMaine’s Ag Experiment Station, gives it an overall rating of “excellent.”
Z4/5. Maine Grown. (3–6' bare-root trees)

Additional Information
Hybrid Plums
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.
