Plum Mariposa Dwarf – Japnese Plum
An upright deciduous fruiting tree that requires pollination for fruit development. Plum Mariposa produces long stems with elliptic deep green leaves, which change colour in autumn. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Plum Mariposa has medium-sized oval fruit with dark maroon skin with green lenticels giving a spotting effect. The flesh is a blood-red colour with a fine texture and very juicy. Lovely flavour with a semi-freestone seed. Ideal for eating fresh, cooking, drying or preserving. This is an ideal tree for smaller gardens, patios, apartments, food gardens or planted into a large pot. It grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.
