Plum Black Doris

Plum Black Doris Details

Plum Black Doris is a popular variety that produces large and firm, purple-black fruit. The flesh is dark red, sweet, and juicy. White blossoms adorn the tree in spring and give rise to the fruit in summer. It does not require another variety planted nearby to produce fruit. This deciduous tree grows with an upright habit to about 5 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though a late frost can reduce yields. The Black Doris plum is commonly planted for fruit production and makes for a lovely specimen.
