Click here for Plum Care Guide Prunus salicina 'Burbank' – Burbank Japanese Plum Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship plum trees to California. Burbank is a classic Japanese plum known for its large, attractive fruit and rich, sweet flavor. The round plums develop smooth reddish-purple skin over juicy yellow flesh, creating an excellent fresh-eating plum with outstanding dessert quality. The fruit is also well suited for jams, preserves, baking, and other culinary uses. Originally introduced by renowned plant breeder Luther Burbank, this variety has remained popular for generations due to its productivity, adaptability, and dependable fruit quality. Trees are vigorous and attractive, producing showy white blossoms in spring followed by abundant crops of fruit ripening in late summer. Burbank requires a compatible pollinator for reliable fruit production. Methley, Bruce, and other Japanese plum varieties that bloom at a similar time are suitable pollination partners.
