Burgundy plum has medium sized fruit with reddish purple skin. The flesh is deep red, mellow, sweet. When eating your fresh plums, know that the pit is small giving you more fruit to enjoy. The Burgundy plum is self fertile, so no need for another tree, especially important if space is at a premium. This plum variety only needs 250 to 350 chill hours, so a good choice for mild winter areas, yet it will take some cold. Ripens early July, but keeps well on tree till mid August. Use fruit for fresh eating, cooking, drying and jams & jellies. Shipped as a potted five gallon tree in its original soil and container.
