Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- Small yellow Spanish plums, sweet-tart, eaten fresh when the skin gives. The flavor is brighter than a grocery plum and lower in sugar than a mango.
- Ripens
- Late spring, often while the little tree looks half asleep or nearly leafless. That bare-branch fruiting is normal.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- A small tropical. Frost can defoliate it. Established bushes in Naples recover.
- Size
- A small tree or large bush. Easy to tuck in. We have a 15-gallon and a 7-gallon.
- Tips
- Do not overwater it into a lawn regime. It likes heat, a dry-ish rest, then a crop. Birds like it too.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
