Spondias Dulcis June Plums Tropical Fruit Tree – Fruiting Variety

Grow Your Own Tropical June Plums Tree

Imagine harvesting your own delicious June Plums, also known as Spondias Dulcis, right from your backyard! This tropical fruit tree offers more than just incredibly flavorful fruit; it’s a beautiful addition to any garden or patio. You’ll receive a young, vibrant tree, approximately 3-4 years old and standing 30-36 inches tall, ready to bring a touch of the exotic to your home. Enjoy the anticipation of white blooms and your very first home-grown plums, often fruiting as early as next season with proper care.

Once the June Plums transition from green to yellow, they’re perfectly ripe and ready for picking! The fruit typically boasts an amber color when ripe, with yellow/brown flesh and a unique, spicy flavor. Its consistency is delightfully similar to an apple, offering a wonderful mix of tartness and sweetness. Enjoy them fresh, blend them into a refreshing drink, or use them in jams, sauces, fruit butter, and preserves. In some cultures, even the unripe fruit is savored with salt, sugar, and chili, or a touch of shrimp paste, showcasing the incredible versatility of this tropical delight.

This semi-deciduous June Plums tree appreciates shelter from strong north winds due to its sensitivity to cold. While it may shed leaves during a cold spell, it quickly bounces back with vibrant new foliage as the weather warms, demonstrating its resilience. Your plant will be shipped without the container, carefully wrapped and secured in our specialized packaging. We ship exclusively to the lower 48 states. It is the buyer’s responsibility to monitor the weather between California and your location, as these tropical June Plums plants are sensitive to cold temperatures.
