Yellow Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) – Premium Seeds from Deodar Seeds
Yellow Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera), also known as Myrobalan Plum, is a small fruit-bearing tree native to Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It has been cultivated for centuries for its adaptability, ornamental beauty, and delicious golden fruits. Traditionally used in various cuisines and natural medicine, this hardy species is widely grown across temperate regions due to its resilience and abundant yields.
Plant Characteristics
This deciduous tree or large shrub grows between 3–10 meters (10–33 feet) in height, forming a dense, rounded canopy with serrated green leaves. It produces fragrant white or pale pink flowers in early spring, making it an attractive ornamental plant. The fruits are small, typically 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 inches) in diameter, with smooth, golden-yellow skin and juicy flesh. They weigh between 10–20 grams (0.35–0.7 oz) per fruit and ripen in mid-to-late summer. The tree is fast-growing and highly adaptable to various climates.
Taste and Health Benefits
Yellow Cherry Plums have a sweet-tart flavor, with hints of apricot and honey, making them enjoyable fresh or processed. They are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting digestion, boosting immunity, and supporting heart health. Their natural pectin content makes them excellent for jams and preserves.
Cultivation Guidelines
This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining loamy or sandy soil (pH 5.5–7.5). Seeds should be cold stratified for 60–90 days before planting to improve germination. Once sown, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, with germination occurring in 4–12 weeks under ideal conditions. Mature trees are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering, especially in dry seasons. Pruning helps maintain shape and productivity. The first fruiting usually occurs within 3–5 years after planting.
Uses and Applications
Yellow Cherry Plums are versatile, used in fresh consumption, jams, jellies, sauces, and desserts. Their tangy-sweet taste enhances culinary creations, while their high antioxidant content makes them valuable in herbal remedies. The tree is also used as a pollinator for other plum varieties and serves as an excellent hedge or ornamental feature in gardens and landscapes.
