Grow delicious, high-quality plums with the Catalina Plum Tree, a Japanese-type variety developed in California known for its large, flavorful dark purple fruit. The plums have a natural waxy bloom and firm flesh that is exceptionally sweet, juicy, and low in tartness, even near the skin and pit.

This vigorous and highly productive tree is ideal for home orchards, providing reliable yields and excellent fruit quality. It ripens in midseason, about 7–10 days before Friar in warm regions, offering an earlier harvest with good storage and eating qualities.
