The Green Elf is an old Cherry Plum developed by pioneer plant breeder A.J (Bert) Porter from Parkside, Saskatchewan. Green Elf Cherry Plums have green skin and flesh averaging 3 c m (1") in size. Firm, semi-freestone and mild in flavour, they are great for fresh eating and also excellent for canning. They have a really nice flavour! Ripens in the middle of August and keeps well after harvesting. Growers Note: It is highly recommended that you purchase a Canada Plum or an American Plum to pollinate our Hybrid plums, as they are self-sterile. Plum trees like fertile, well-drained soil. They should be planted at least 3-4m (12-15 feet) apart, and fruit can be expected around 4 to 6 years of age.
