Plum trees are beautiful deciduous fruit trees known for their delicate spring blossoms and sweet, juicy fruit. Depending on the variety, plums can range from golden yellow to deep red or purple, with flavors varying from honey-sweet to pleasantly tart. Although many traditional plum trees require cold winters, specially selected low-chill varieties can thrive in Florida's mild climate. Some varieties also benefit from cross-pollination, making the selection of compatible trees important for a successful harvest.
