Plum Empress Dwarf

Empress Plum

Empress Plum produces large, deep blue fruit with firm yellow flesh and a sweet flavor. Its harvest generally falls in early September. White flowers precede the fruit.

Provide a compatible plum for cross-pollination; Stanley and Damson are listed partners. Plant in full sun with well-drained loam. The dwarf rootstock needs to be identified before mature size and spacing can be confirmed.
