Ready at the end of August, this delightful plum was developed at the University of Saskatchewan and is a must-have for any northern orchard – it’s extreme hardiness, vigorous growth, and disease resistance make this variety well suited for the prairies. Small to medium fruit has red/orange skin and yellow flesh. Its semi-freestone nature makes it suited for cooking with or processing in addition to fresh eating.

Needs another plum for cross-pollination. Canadian or American plum recommended.
