Golden Candy Plum Tree Shipped in Soill, 1 Gallon Container Eating good tasting plums that taste like candy, nothing better! Fruit from the Golden Candy plum is delicious, yellow fleshed goodness from first bite all the way to you're finished, the flavor described as 'very sweet'. Consider a plum tree in a large container, your fruit just an arm's length away if the container was on your patio, porch or deck. Look out the window and you'll then be motivated to take just a few steps outside and grab one after dinner. The Golden Candy plum ripens late July and is self fertile. Your tree is hardy to USDA zone 5 to 9, about 400 to 600 chill hours needed. Shipped potted in its original soil and container for best results.
