The Story
Prunus x 'Candy Heart'
Famed fruit breeder Floyd Zaiger has crossed a cherry with a Japanese plum to create a wonderful new fruit he calls a Pluerry. Candy Heart's skin is dark speckled red and the delicious and uniquely flavored flesh is amber/red. It ripens after most cherries and Japanese plums and is pollinized by the Sweet Treat Pluerry or a later blooming Japanese Plum. Until very recently Cherry Plums were just a name for small plums, but now we have true crosses that incorporate cherry flavor into what looks like a plum.
USDA Zone: 6-9
Mature Height: 12'
Sun: Full Sun
Ripening Time: Midseason
Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer
