Prunus spp. Midsummer. Uncertain parentage (thought to be P. simonii × P. sal.). Luther Burbank intro, California, 1899.
Although Shiro’s parentage is unclear—it may be a pure Japanese type—it’s hardy in much of Maine, especially along the coast and Portland south. The 1½" round-conic thin-skinned fruit is light yellow, deepening as the season progresses and sometimes colored with a pinkish blush. The sweet chin-dribbling light-yellow translucent flesh is so juicy it might soak your shirt. Or skip the mess and jam or can them.
Broadly spreading picturesque tree will eventually span 30' or more but tops off at only 10 or 12'. Z5. Maine Grown.BACK! (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.
