Why We Grow It

People often tell us about the small yellow plums they ate as children. Peach Plum has that same appeal: fruit that is easy to pick and enjoy close to home, with plenty of uses in compote and jam. It is a good tree to put somewhere the family passes often through plum season.

How the Plant Grows

Our Myrobalan-grafted stock is managed as a semi-standard tree. Develop well-spaced scaffold branches and an open canopy, thin crowded fruit and maintain a height you can harvest. Final size depends on cultivar, site and pruning. Avoid waterlogged soil.

Plant Size

Size at Maturity- Approximately 15–25 ft tall and wide, depending on site and pruning.

Additional Info

Small yellow plums are easy to turn into a quick compote or a batch of jam. Pick as flavour develops and use or preserve soft fruit promptly.

Peach Plum

Plums bring juicy summer fruit and plenty of possibilities for the pantry. Eat them fresh as they ripen, or put a basket to work in jam, compote and baking. We like a plum tree close enough to visit often during harvest, where spring blossom and summer fruit become part of everyday life in the garden.
