UNDERWOOD AMERICAN HYBRID PLUM

Price range: $46.95 through $63.95

For over 100 years the fruit breeding folks at the University of Minnesota have worked on developing better quality plums with adequate cold hardiness. They have released well over 20 new varieties that combine Prunus americana strains with the best Japanese cultivars. Although many have gone by the wayside now, the oldest one still being planted is Underwood, a Shiro cross related in 1921. The relatively large 4-5 cm (2") red fruit has a golden yellow, semi-freestone flesh. The plums, which ripen over several weeks are tender, sweet and juicy for ideal fresh eating, but also keep a bit longer than most hybrid varieties, so processing for jam, etc. is also a good option. Beautiful golden fall foliage is another fringe benefit.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
