Plum Starking Delicious

Starking Delicious Plum

Starking Delicious Plum bears large fruit with dark red skin and red flesh. The sweet, firm plums suit fresh eating, pies and preserves. Ripening is generally in early August, with local timing affected by climate.

Give the tree full sun and well-drained loam. It needs a compatible plum for cross-pollination. Dwarf and standard rootstocks produce different tree sizes, so confirm the rootstock before planning spacing.
