Prunus Domestica 'Prime Time' (Plum Prime Time)
Prunus Domestica 'Prime Time' (Plum Prime Time)
Prunus Domestica 'Prime Time' (Plum Prime Time) is a highly productive deciduous fruit tree, prized for its large, deep red to purple plums with sweet, firm yellow flesh. These versatile plums are perfect for fresh eating, cooking, preserving, or making desserts. The tree is well-regarded for its consistent yields and exceptional fruit quality.
In early spring, the tree produces a stunning display of white blossoms, enhancing its ornamental appeal before the fruit develops. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Plum Prime Time is a hardy and low-maintenance variety. While partially self-fertile, it benefits from cross-pollination with another plum variety for increased yields. The harvest period typically occurs in late summer, providing a bountiful supply of delicious plums.
