In 1908, Mr. Burbank himself declared his creation, the Formosa Plum, "the best plum in existence ... loaded with fruit of great size, unusual beauty, and unequaled in quality." Patty Fowler, a fruit connoisseur, and Adam agree. This handsome heart shaped plum, is the most beautiful and the tastiest of plums around. Sweet, Juicy and Flavorful. Slight apricot flavor.

The 100+ year old tree is still growing strong and vigorous in Newcastle. It is a wonder that this fruit ever fell out of favor (flavor). The freshly grafted trees are also some fo the most vigorous and healthy in the nursery. We are looking forward to growing these beauties in the future.
