The Gulf Beauty Plum is a Japanese-style plum variety developed by the University of Florida for warm climates. It is prized for its early ripening, attractive dark purple skin, and yellow flesh that is sweet and juicy with a mild tang. The fruit is clingstone.
This productive tree performs especially well in subtropical regions and is an excellent choice for Florida home gardens.
