Overview & Description

Toka Plum (Prunus salicina x amer. ‘Toka’) is a vase-shaped tree prized for its medium-sized, richly flavoured clingstone fruit with red skin and apricot-coloured flesh that ripens in early fall. This attractive hybrid offers exceptional flavour and ornamental value, with beautiful spring blossoms and a graceful, open canopy. Its richly flavoured fruit is a favourite for fresh eating and processing.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a vase-shaped, upright, open growth habit. It is a moderate-growing tree, typically reaching a mature size of about 13 – 16 feet in both height and spread.

Additional Notes

It blooms in spring with white to pink flowers. Hardy to Zone 3, it produces higher yields when pollinated with an American group plum. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. An outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, and cold-climate gardens where medium-sized, richly flavoured clingstone plums with red skin and apricot flesh are desired.
