Description

The Ozark Premier Plum Tree is a delicious fruit tree grown in zones 5-9. It produces large, juicy plums that are perfect for snacking or baking.

Ozark Premier Plum Tree

The Ozark Premier plum tree (Prunus salicina 'Ozark Premier') is a popular variety of plum tree known for its large, sweet, and juicy fruit. It is a hybrid of the Burbank and Methley plum trees, and it was developed by the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station in the 1940s.

Ozark Premier plum trees are vigorous growers, and they can reach heights of 15-20 feet. They have a spreading habit, and they require full sun and well-drained soil. Ozark Premier plum trees are self-pollinating, but they will produce a larger crop if cross-pollinated with another plum tree, such as the Santa Rosa plum or the Black Gold plum.

Ozark Premier plums ripen in the mid-summer, and they are typically harvested in August. The plums are large, about 2 inches in diameter, and they have a deep red color. The flesh of the plums is yellow and firm, and it has a sweet and slightly tart flavor.

Ozark Premier plums are a delicious and versatile fruit. They can be eaten fresh, used to make pies, jams, and jellies, or dried. Ozark Premier plums are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.

Here are some tips for growing Ozark Premier plum trees:

  • Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
  • Plant the tree in the spring or fall.
  • Water the tree regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
  • Fertilize the tree in the spring and fall with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Mulch around the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Prune the tree in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant.

Ozark Premier plum trees are a beautiful and productive addition to any landscape. They are a great choice for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.

Here are some creative ideas for using Ozark Premier plums:

  • Eat them fresh as a snack or dessert.
  • Use them to make pies, jams, and jellies.
  • Dry them for a healthy snack or to use in baking.
  • Add them to salads, fruit bowls, and yogurt parfaits.
  • Use them to make plum wine, plum liqueur, or plum brandy.
  • Use them to make plum chutney or plum salsa.
  • Use them to make plum sauce or plum glaze for meats and poultry.

No matter how you choose to use them, Ozark Premier plums are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.

We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.

Note
Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
