Valton Plum Tree
Very limited quantity. Definitely the most reliable and productive of the trees we have seen. Has one of the longest harvests. Sweet, juicy and fresh flavors. The ideal plum tree.
This vigorous plum tree is very productive. The skin of the fruit is red and the flesh is yellow and very sweet. Fruit is clingstone and very flavourful. Long harvest period starting beginning of September right through mid-September. This selection comes from Father Valton, a pioneer in organic agriculture in Quebec.
