Burbank Plum is a semi-dwarf deciduous tree with an attractive irregular crown and showy display of fragrant white flowers, but is primarily grown for its summer fruit. These fruits are red with a yellow flush and have sweet amber colored flesh that is good fresh or used for cooking. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
