Fruit tree

Prunus domestica 'Shiro' is a Japanese plum tree known for its large, round fruits with golden-yellow skin and pale yellow, juicy, sweet, and slightly tart flesh. These very refreshing plums are perfect for fresh eating, fruit salads, jams, and desserts. 'Shiro' is distinguished by its abundant and regular production from early summer onward, as well as its rapid fruit set. It is not self-fertile and requires cross-pollination with another compatible variety, such as 'Santa Rosa' or 'Methley'. Its spring flowering is generous and ornamental, and the tree prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil. Highly prized for its delicate flavor and ease of cultivation, 'Shiro' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a sweet, decorative, and productive plum.
