Spring Satin Plumcot

This variety is a delicious fruit that is a cross between a plum and an apricot. It has a dark-red skin with a satin surface, and yellow flesh that ripens to red. It has a high sugar content when ripe, and the fruit is delicious for eating fresh or for preserves. Fruit ripens between late May and early July, depending on your climate zone, and the fruit stores well in a cool place after picking. This vigorous and easy tree is a great introduction to the joys of growing fruit at home, and highly recommended. Upright spreading tree that is quite compact and ornamental; needs full sun and well-drained soil; requires a pollinator, like the Santa Rosa Plum, is needed for full fruit development.
