Angeleno Plum Tree
Origin: USA
Description:The Angeleno Plum Tree is a late-season variety known for its long shelf life and resistance to fruit drop. It features a spreading growth habit that maximizes sunlight exposure for optimal fruit ripeness. The tree adapts well to various climates, particularly those with hot summers, and it is somewhat drought-resistant once established.
Fruit: The fruit is medium-sized with a skin that turns from green to a dark, almost black hue when fully ripe. The flesh is firm, yellow to amber, and sweet with a low acid content, ideal for both fresh eating and processing.
Harvest: Harvest time for the Angeleno plum extends from late September into October, one of the latest in the season, providing fruit at a time when few other plums are available.
Pollination: Angeleno plums benefit from cross-pollination. Compatible varieties include the Santa Rosa and Burbank plums, which help enhance fruit set and size.
Spacing: Trees should be spaced about 3.5 to 4.5 meters apart. This allows for mature trees to reach heights of up to 3 meters while maintaining good air circulation and sunlight exposure.
Good to know: The long storage potential and late ripening make Angeleno plums especially valuable for extending the plum season in commercial markets. They are also resistant to cracking and handle transportation well, making them a favored choice for international shipping.
