5 Gal. Ruby Sweet Plum Tree

The Ruby Sweet Plum tree is a Japanese hybrid plum, with a red, almost ruby, skin and juicy red flesh. It's not self-fertile and requires a Japanese plum pollinator nearby. In the spring, white blossoms are very fragrant, forming juicy plums that ripen in July. Developed by the USDA in Georgia, Ruby Sweet is a huge improvement over old Stanley plums in flavor and disease resistance. This variety is heat tolerant and does well across the South. It's perfect for baking and is often canned, preserved or eaten fresh. Hardy in USDA zones 6-8 and needs approximately 400-500 chill hours. It is shipped in a #5 pot with an average size of 2 ft.-3 ft.
