Midsummer. Seedling of Formosa. Japanese plum, first described in 1952 and still one of the most widely grown varieties in Japan and Korea.
The name is pronounced “wishy-washy”, but the quality is anything but! Large oblong fruit ripens to a majestic fuchsia, with sweet-tart golden flesh. Clingstone. This is the first plum to ripen at Scott Farm in Vermont, in mid-July. Needs another Japanese-type plum for pollination. Z4.
