Beauty plum is a vigorous, heavy bearing tree which produces snack-sized fruit that will be some of the first plums to ripen! This is an excellent choice for anyone wanting the earliest fresh fruit of season. An altogether unique benefit of the Beauty Plum is that these bright nectar-filled plums are perfectly snack-sized! Fresh plums can be notoriously juicy and messy to eat, but the Beauty plum has been cultivated to achieve peak ripeness at the size of an extra-large grape. The delicious and healthy Beauty plums are easy to enjoy and will melt in your mouth like no other variety, guaranteed.
