Nursery contributed plant descriptions
An exciting new fruiting plant that has simply amazed us with its ability to flower and fruit at a young age. We are offering this dwarf June Plum, which can easily be maintained in a 12" pot and will reach 3-6 feet in height. This New World plant is deciduous in wintertime but amazingly enough the fruit holds on (up to 6-8 months) long after the leaves have dropped. The fruit appears in pairs and will turn a brushed-golden color as it ripens. Eat the pulp of the fruit, which surrounds the fibrous seed. Grown for its ornamental value as well.
