Autumn Giant Plum Tree

Origin: Europe

Description:The Autumn Giant Plum Tree is distinguished by its exceptionally large fruit and vigorous growth. This variety matures late in the season and is known for its impressive canopy, which provides abundant shade. The tree is cold-hardy and performs well in regions with cooler summers and mild winters.

Fruit: The fruits are very large with a purple to bluish-black skin and amber flesh. They are noted for their juicy, sweet flavor, making them excellent for fresh eating, drying, and culinary uses, particularly in desserts and preserves.

Harvest: Harvest occurs from late August to early September, offering a robust yield of large plums late in the season.

Pollination: Autumn Giant is self-fertile, but fruit production can be enhanced by planting alongside another European plum variety such as the Stanley or President.

Spacing: Spacing of approximately 4 meters between trees is recommended to ensure enough room for growth and optimal fruit production. Mature trees can reach heights of up to 4.5 meters.

Good to know: This variety's late maturity and large fruit size make it attractive for commercial orchards looking to offer something unique at the end of the plum season. Its resilience to cooler climates also broadens its growing regions.
