SKU: PLUSCA05G
Description
The Scarlet Beauty is a very early blooming, low chill, Japanese style plum. It lives up to its name with bright red skin and scarlet streaked flesh. It has medium sized fruit with excellent flavor. The tree is a heavy-bearer with plums ripening in May or early Summer. This cultivar requires a low chill time of 150-hours to produce fruit. Fruit production will begin after 1-3 years of planting. Water the tree thoroughly for the first few years to establish a good root system. After this flowering plum tree is established, it is moderately drought tolerant. A slow release fertilizer in the early spring growing season will encourage new growth and spring flowers. The Scarlet plum variety is a great low maintenance fruit tree for growers and backyard enthusiasts alike. Self pollinating although fruit production is improved with 2 trees. Cold hardy in USDA zones 7-9.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
