Prunus 'Toka'
Prunus ‘Toka’, commonly known as the 'Toka' plum, is a Japanese-American hybrid variety renowned for its spectacular spring blossoms and its essential role as a universal pollinator in orchards. Its red fruits with amber flesh, highly aromatic and sweet, are prized for their exotic flavor reminiscent of bubblegum, both for fresh consumption and for preserves. Compact and vigorous, its rounded habit is perfectly suited to Quebec residential orchards, and its abundant flowering attracts pollinating insects in spring. Although it is self-sterile, it is one of the best pollinators for a wide variety of European and Japanese plum trees. Easy to grow, it requires well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny exposure for good fruiting. The 'Toka' plum combines horticultural utility, ornamental interest, and unique flavor, making it a valuable asset for any northern fruit garden.
