Larry Ann Plum Tree

Origin: USA

Description:The Larry Ann Plum Tree is noted for its early fruiting season and large, heart-shaped fruits with attractive red skin. It thrives in mild to warm climates and has a moderate growth rate with a somewhat spreading canopy. This variety is particularly prized for its aesthetic qualities and its sweet, juicy flesh.

Fruit: The plums are large with a vibrant red skin and a bright yellow interior. The flesh is very sweet, firm, and juicy, making them excellent for fresh eating and dessert preparations.

Harvest: Fruits are typically ready for harvest from late July to early August, making it one of the earlier plum varieties to ripen.

Pollination: Larry Ann is partially self-fertile, but benefits from cross-pollination with other Japanese plum varieties like Santa Rosa or Satsuma to maximize fruit production.

Spacing: Trees should be planted 3 to 4 meters apart to ensure good sun exposure and air flow. Mature trees generally grow to about 3 meters in height.

Good to know: This variety is highly valued for its early ripening and the ornamental quality of its fruits, which appeal to both commercial growers and home garden enthusiasts. Its resistance to many common fruit tree diseases adds to its desirability.
