Pamela Hybrid Plum

Pamela Hybrid Plum

bare-root trees
Prunus spp. Late Summer. Prunus americana seedling, Westmanland, Maine. Fedco intro, 2015.

High-quality sweet-fleshed totally freestone medium-small fruit. Reddish skin with yellowish undertones. Productive and extremely hardy. Flowers with a pinkish tone.

An excellent pollinator for hybrid and American plums. Many years ago, longtime Fedco growers Steve and Barb Miller purchased a hybrid plum from another nursery. The grafted plum never did well but the rootstock sprouted from below the graft and eventually fruited. It was so good, they began to graft it around the farm.

When Steve first told us about the plum, he just called it Pam (from P. americana). We decided to dignify it a bit. Z3. 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.
