Zone: 3TOKA PLUM TREE
The Toka Japanese Hybrid Plum, also known as the Bubblegum Plum, is a fast growing, cold-hardy hybrid that is a cross between the American Plum (Prunus americana) and the Japanese Plum (Prunus salicina). It has an upright, vase-shaped habit with fragrant white flowers along the branches in March and April and apricot colored, juicy clingstone red plums in summer. It is a self-pollinating fruit tree, but one of the best for pollinating others.
Toka thrives in loamy, well-drained soils with moderate moisture in full sun. It is an ornamental variety that may be messy along walkways, but makes an excellent accent tree in an orchard or landscape.

To help this tree settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in full sun to ensure the best fruit production and foliage color. Plums are particularly sensitive to moisture levels and require a site with excellent air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal pathogens; avoid low-lying areas where frost or water can collect. Provide deep, consistent water during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established, and monitor soil moisture thereafter to ensure it remains consistently moist but never waterlogged.
Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve structure, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage productive growth, typically using an open-center system to maximize light penetration throughout the canopy.
