Plum A colorful landscape specimen that produces a red-fleshed fruit. It's the only plum I have that has not missed a crop in the last five years. A decided advantage is that the fruit hides under the foliage and escapes the birds. Ripens a month or so later than All Red or Cocheco types.
Fruit has a beautiful purplish red flesh, firm and juicy texture.
One of the prettiest purple-leaf plum trees. Height at maturity is 10-12'. Cistena makes a colorful hedge and can be maintained from 3-6'. Encourage new growth by pruning the red stems after flowering. Unusual spreading habit and open center.
