Prunus domestica 'Superior'
Prunus domestica ‘Superior’, known as the 'Superior' plum tree, is a highly prized Japanese hybrid variety celebrated for its large, bright red fruits with juicy, sweet, and slightly tart golden-yellow flesh. Valued for its remarkable flavor and ornamental appeal, this plum tree is covered in an abundance of white blossoms in spring, attracting pollinating insects. Its vigorous, rounded habit and hardiness suited to Quebec conditions make it an excellent choice for residential orchards. ‘Superior’ is self-sterile but produces abundant fruit when a compatible pollinator plum tree is present. It prefers well-drained, fertile to slightly clayey soils, and full sun exposure. Thanks to its generous production, the impressive size of its fruits, and its ease of cultivation, the 'Superior' plum tree stands out as a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a high-yielding fruit tree.
