Plum Ozark Premier

Ozark Premier Plum

Ozark Premier Plum produces large red fruit with firm, sweet flesh. The semi-freestone plums can be eaten fresh or used in preserves and cooking. Harvest generally falls in early to mid-August, depending on climate.

Plant in full sun and well-drained loam. A compatible plum flowering at the same time is required for pollination. Tree size depends on the rootstock; confirm that before choosing planting distances.
