SHIRO JAPANESE PLUM

Price range: $46.95 through $63.95

Shiro is well-known and widely recommended. It has been around since 1899 when Luther Burbank introduced it and is a consistently prolific producer. The sunny yellow fruit is larger than Early Gold, and ripens 10-14 days later. Bend forward to bite into a Shiro, as the tender, melting, translucent flesh is unbelievably juicy. Pick it slightly green if you want to store it longer. The tree has a very spreading growth habit. Although it usually grows no taller than 3-3.5m (10-12') it can become almost twice as wide.

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).
