American Hybrid Plum : BLACKICE™ Semi-Dwarf (Mustang) (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.

A sensational new variety from the University of Wisconsin, BlackIce™ is a large, California-type plum that can take the worst of winters here in Canada! This juicy red-fleshed fruit with dark purple-black, tender skin has excellent flavour and quality, making it the new fresh market favourite! The naturally compact tree has good disease resistance and will begin producing at a young age. The preferred pollenizer for BlackIce™ is the Toka plum but Compass or Sapalta chums will also work.
