The Plum, Burbank, Prunus salicina, is a prize variety that was created by the master plant breeder himself, Luther Burbank over 100 years ago. Burbank is a natural semi dwarf, reaching only 12 15' with a graceful spreading form. It is super sweet, red mottled yellow in color, and has a deep yellow flesh with a very good flavor. This plum is semi freestone, which means it partially separates from the pit. Burbank Plum requires minimal pruning which should be done after flowering when the tree is still leafless. It prefers a well drained, loamy, mildly acidic to mildly alkaline soil and does best in full sun.
