Earliblue Prune-Plum Tree
Description
One of the easiest plum trees to grow! This hearty variety bears early, yielding crops of sweet, juicy plums with purple-blue skin. Yellow flesh is juicy and flavorful making it a great choice for homemade prunes. Freestone. Introduced by Missouri State University Fruit Experiment Station in 1973. Ripens in late July. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger crops if pollinated with another European plum tree.
