Description

True to its name, the Elephant Heart Plum is a magnificent, heart-shaped fruit that delivers an unforgettable taste experience.

The flavor is deep, wine-like, and incredibly rich. As a semi-dwarf tree with a compact form, it’s perfect for smaller spaces where you can grow a true heavyweight of flavor.
