Prunus Domestica 'Sugar Plum' (Sugar Plum) is a deciduous European plum tree valued for its heavy crops of small, elongated oval fruit with deep red skin and very sweet, juicy yellow flesh. The tree has an attractive upright, spreading habit, while its white spring blossoms provide an appealing seasonal display before the fruit develops. The plums are excellent for eating fresh, drying, cooking and preserving, making this a versatile choice for a productive home orchard.

Growing best in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil, Prunus Domestica 'Sugar Plum' (Sugar Plum) is a rewarding fruit tree for gardeners wanting reliable home-grown produce. It is semi-clingstone and benefits from cross-pollination with another compatible European plum variety for improved fruit set. Its combination of attractive spring flowers, productive fruiting and useful culinary qualities makes it a worthwhile addition to larger gardens and home orchards
