Product Details

This little, 1-1.5" yellow plum turns translucent with a blueish bloom when ripe. The fruit has a distinct 'tropical' flavor which resembles starfruit or pineapple. Super delicious Myro (Myrobalan) plum. Myrobalan plums are drought tolerant and consistent bearers. Keeps the kids busy for weeks! Ripens in late August around 2000' elevation. It is similar to 'Hazen's Mirabelle'. Myro plums are often used as rootstocks for plums, prunes, apricots, peaches, nectarines and almonds, and can be grafted with multiple species and varieties to create a living fruit salad tree!

The grandmother is a scraggly old tree, living and thriving, untended, alongside a road in south Nevada County at 2000' elevation. We stopped at this roadside gem on our way to the Biblical Gardens. We loved it so much we came back and asked permission to pick them and cut scion wood for propagation. You will be glad we did! Southern Nevada County was well known for the production of grains, hay and cattle in the 1800s. It is the location of the original Pioneer Trail along Wolf Creek which brought people to California before the Gold Rush.
