This is the fun part. There are many selections of plum trees, each with their own fruit color, flavor, ripening time, and more. What really determines the type you should choose is how you want to use them. Most are good for snacking. Others are great for desserts, canning, dried fruits, making jam, jelly, and preserves, and salads.

Introduced in Japan in 1887 as 'Shiro Smoma', this plum tree creates a large amount of firm, glossy carmine red fruit that turn to a darker red when ripe with a tart flavor. Red June plums can be eaten fresh but are most useful for canning, cooking and for jams and preserves.
Pollination: Self-Pollinating but will benefit if another fruiting plum is planted nearby
