Burbank' Plum

Size and Fruit Quality

The ‘Burbank’ plum tree typically reaches 3–4 metres tall and wide, forming a broad, spreading canopy. It produces medium to large fruit with red to purple skin and sweet, golden-yellow flesh. The fruit is juicy and flavourful, ideal for fresh eating, preserving, or desserts. ‘Burbank’ plums ripen in mid to late summer and are known for their excellent texture and balanced sweetness, making them a favourite in home orchards across New Zealand.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant your ‘Burbank’ plum tree in full sun with well-drained soil for best growth and fruit production. Choose a sheltered location to protect it from strong winds and late frosts. Space trees 3–4 metres apart to allow for mature spread. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system, then only during dry periods. Mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late summer to maintain shape and promote airflow. Use a compatible pollinator for improved fruit set such as 'Black Doris'.
