All Red Plum is a semi-dwarf deciduous fruiting tree with a upright-spreading crown and showy display of fragrant white flowers but is primarily grown for its fruit. Its foliage turns an attractive shade of red for fall. The small plums are ready for harvest in early summer and have red skin and flesh with sweet-tart flavor that is good fresh or used for cooking. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. All Red is self-pollinating and disease resistant with a low chill requirement of only 350 chill hours.
