Description

The Emerald Beaut Plum is a champion of longevity and sweetness, redefining what a plum can be. This exceptional variety bears large, elegant fruit with skin that ripens from jade green to a soft yellow-green. Its golden flesh is remarkably crisp and sweet, with a flavor that wins top honors in blind tastings. Most remarkably, the fruit can hang on the tree for weeks after ripening, continuing to sweeten while maintaining its crisp, snappy texture—offering an extended, gourmet harvest from late summer into fall.

• Winner of multiple blind taste tests for its exceptional, super-sweet flavor.

• Unique for its long “hang time” on the tree, sweetening for weeks while staying crisp (harvest Aug-Oct).

• Skin is a beautiful greenish-yellow; flesh is golden, firm, and freestone.

• Requires cross-pollination (e.g., with ‘Burgundy’, ‘Flavor King Pluot’).

• Blooms later in spring, helping avoid late frosts.

• A vigorous, productive deciduous tree adaptable to many climates (Zones 5-9).

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: Exceptionally sweet and rich with very low acidity when fully mature.

• Texture: Uniquely crisp, firm, and juicy—like a perfect apple-plum hybrid.

• Best Uses: Primarily a premium fresh-eating plum. Its firmness also makes it excellent for salads, platters, and eating out of hand over a long period.
