Fast-Growing, Early Harvest Plum
Beauty Plum, Prunus salicina 'Beauty', also known as the Beauty Japanese Plum, is a fruit-bearing tree with ornamental features. Plant one in a sunny location in your yard where you can enjoy its spring flowers and early harvest of outstanding plums.
Your Beauty Plum tree provides a delicious harvest of tasty treats earlier than many other plum varieties. The sumptuous plums ripen late-June to mid-July, following the abundant bloom of delicate, white flowers that blanket your Beauty Plum tree in spring.
Each juicy, sweet globe of fruity perfection will dangle from your tree, declaring its readiness when its yellow skin becomes overlaid with a dramatic, scarlet blush. Everything about Beauty Plum tree is "beautiful", including its red-highlighted, amber flesh that's sure to start you salivating in expectation of its sweetness long before the luscious juice touches your tongue.
Beauty Plum is a deciduous tree with a rounded nature, and fast-growing habit, so you won't have to wait long to see results. Beauty tends to be most productive in cool, rainy conditions. It's self-fruitful, but will do best with other pollinators nearby. Beauty has a low chill hour requirement and is outstanding for warmer climates.
Beauty Plum is a smaller, Japanese plum tree so you won't have to provide a large amount of space in your yard in order to try one of these terrific trees. Plant just one Beauty Plum tree this year, and you're sure to want more for next year when you sample some of the best plums that nature, and "Nature Hills Nursery", has to offer!
