Zone: 5SUPERIOR PLUM TREE
The Superior Clingstone plum has large red-blushed crimson fruit with sweet, juicy yellow flesh that is great off the tree or in cooking. The name does not steer you wrong - this is a Superior plum for eating! This very hardy variety sets fruit early and ripens in late summer. Use 'Toka' or 'Pipestone' for pollination.

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.
