The Burbank Plum Tree is an heirloom variety you must taste for its classic juiciness, firm flesh, rich sweetness and the perfect tangy balance. Within 2 to 4 seasons you will be harvesting big crops from mid-July into August, and this variety ripens over weeks, not all at once. The plums have yellow skin mostly covered in a red blush, with a little blue-white bloom, and rich yellow flesh. The tree is beautiful in bloom, with white blossoms on bare branches, and beautiful when the heavy crop bends the branches over for easy picking.
Plant your Burbank Plum Tree in full sun to enjoy the biggest possible crop. It grows easily and rapidly in any well-drained soil, including acid or alkaline soils and sandy soil too. Pests or diseases are rarely serious issues, and some simple pruning – nothing fancy – is all it takes to enjoy weeks of fresh fruit right from your garden.
