With a mix of Japanese plum and cherry-plum heritage, Sprite Cherry-Plum gives you a fun twist that’s different from ordinary plums—smaller, snackable fruit and a bright, sweet-tart flavor that eats more like a cherry. A midseason crop, Sprite ripens from mid-July to early August. Ripe fruit holds on the tree for 3-4 weeks, giving you ample time to harvest. It’ll adapt to a wide range of climates, making it perfect for backyard orchards. Requires a pollinator—we recommend the cherry-plum Delight—and 400 chill hours.Why buy a Deluxe package: Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, a 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), and a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
