Family Rosaceae

The Prunus domestica 'Bounty', commonly known as the Bounty plum tree, is a deciduous fruit tree renowned for its exceptional hardiness and abundant production of red-purple plums with juicy, sweet, yellow flesh, perfect for fresh consumption, preserves, and baking. Its rounded habit and white spring blossoms attract pollinators, promoting good fruit set. It adapts well to cold climates (zone 3) and is perfectly suited for family orchards as well as sunny gardens, where it prefers fertile, well-drained soil. The tree is partially self-fertile, but production increases with a nearby pollinator. Its glossy green foliage adds ornamental value to the landscape, while its ease of cultivation makes it an ideal choice for gardeners wishing to harvest tasty and robust fruits from late summer onwards.
