Prunus domestica 'Burbank'
Prunus domestica ‘Burbank’, commonly known as the 'Burbank' plum tree, is an old fruit variety still prized for the exceptional quality of its reddish-yellow plums, with juicy, firm, and aromatic flesh. This fruit tree, with its rounded and well-branched habit, easily integrates into family orchards and edible gardens in Quebec, where it thrives in full sun. In spring, it is covered with delicate white blossoms that attract pollinating insects. Cold-hardy, ‘Burbank’ is self-sterile but becomes an excellent cross-pollinator for other Japanese plum varieties. Its growth is moderate, and it prefers well-drained, fertile to slightly clayey soils. With its robustness, regular productivity, and remarkable fruit flavor, the 'Burbank' plum tree remains a reliable and decorative classic in high hardiness zones.
