A very hardy Asian-American hybrid plum prized for its large, heart-shaped fruit with bright red skin and sweet, meaty yellow flesh. Heavy crops ripen in August and hold well on the tree. Excellent for fresh eating, baking, jams, and preserves. Requires a late-blooming plum for pollination.
Growing Tips for Prunus x ''Superior''
Plant in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Water regularly during the first growing season and during extended dry periods once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Plant with a compatible late-blooming plum nearby for reliable fruit production.
