Plum Shiro Dwarf

Shiro Dwarf Plum

Shiro Plum carries rounded yellow fruit with translucent yellow flesh and a mild, sweet flavor. The juicy clingstone plums ripen early in the plum season.

The tree develops a broad, layered outline and can crop heavily. Its bright fruit makes an attractive summer feature in an edible planting.

Provide full sun and roughly 400–500 chill hours. Shiro is partially self-fertile; a compatible plum helps improve cropping.
