Burbank Plum, developed by Luther Burbank, showcases large, oval fruit with deep purple skin and juicy, sweet flesh. Ripening in mid to late summer, it offers a rich, complex flavor ideal for fresh consumption, canning, and baking. This self-fertile tree thrives in various climates, producing abundant harvests. With its ornamental blossoms and delicious fruit, Burbank Plum is a prized addition to any orchard.
Care:
To care for Plums, plant in a well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny location, preferably on a slight slope to prevent waterlogging. Prune annually during dormancy to maintain an open canopy and encourage air circulation. Provide consistent watering, especially during dry periods, to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a Espoma Fertilizer in early spring and midsummer. Protect blossoms from late frosts to ensure fruit set. Monitor for pests and diseases, and apply appropriate control measures as needed. Enjoy the fruits of your labor in mid to late summer.
