PRUNUS TOKA

PRUNUS TOKA
Grower Notes:

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.
