Prunus salicina x angustifolia 'Bruce' ~ Bruce Plum Size:7 GALLON 20110717_SanDiegoBankersHill_Lagerstroemia_Cutler_P1150457Bruce Plum is a semi dwarf deciduous tree with an upright habit that has a showy display of fragrant white flowers but is primarily grown for its summer freestone fruit. Its fruits have sweet tart ruby red skin with sweet and mellow yellow orange flesh that is good fresh or used for cooking. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well drained soils. Bruce only requires 500 chill hours, has excellent drought tolerance, and good disease resistance.
