Friar Plum Tree

Origin: USA

Description:The Friar Plum Tree is a popular commercial variety known for its late ripening and large, round fruits. The tree exhibits a vigorous growth habit and is particularly suited for warmer climates. Its fruits have a glossy black skin with a firm texture that holds up well during processing and shipping.

Fruit: The fruits are exceptionally large and attractive, with a deep black skin and yellow flesh. They are sweet with a mild acidity and a slightly floral undertone, suitable for fresh consumption, cooking, and baking.

Harvest: Harvest typically takes place in late August to early September. Friar plums are known for their consistent, high-volume production.

Pollination: Friar plums require a pollinator to set fruit effectively. Good companions include other Japanese plum varieties such as Santa Rosa or Beauty.

Spacing: Suggested spacing is about 3.5 to 4.5 meters between trees to promote optimal growth and productivity. Mature trees can reach up to 3.5 meters in height.

Good to know: Friar plums are favored in commercial orchards due to their late season harvest, allowing growers to extend the market availability of their plums. They also have excellent shelf life and transport well, making them ideal for long-distance shipping.
