Prunus Salicina ‘Elephant Heart’ Dwarf (Elephant Heart Plum Dwarf) is a compact plum variety prized for its large, heart-shaped fruit. The skin is deep red to purple, while the flesh is rich, sweet, and a striking ruby red. Known for its juiciness and bold flavour, the fruit is excellent for fresh eating, jams, and desserts.
This dwarf form is ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, or pots, while still producing abundant crops. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and benefits from regular pruning after harvest to maintain shape and promote strong yields.
