Semi-Dwarf 3-in-1 Japanese Plum Tree is a multi-grafted plum tree that produces a sequence of delicious, juicy Japanese plums across the summer—all from one tree. With three complementary varieties grafted together, this tree offers a mix of early-, mid-, and late-season ripening for an extended harvest of flavorful plums ranging from richly sweet to tangy and aromatic. Varieties include tried-and-true favorites such as Santa Rosa, Elephant Heart, and Laroda. Grafted onto Citation rootstock, this tree maintains controlled vigor, adaptability to a wide range of soils, and consistent yields, making it ideal for home orchards or smaller garden spaces.

 

Growing Semi-Dwarf 3-in-1 Japanese Plum Tree on Citation

• Light: Needs full sun for optimal sweetness, color, and abundant yields.
• Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; enrich with compost or organic matter to enhance vigor and fruiting.
• Water: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season, especially during fruit development. Reduce after harvest.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced orchard fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to support steady growth and reliable crops.
• Pollination: Self-fertile; each grafted variety will set fruit without the need for a pollinator.
• Maintenance: Prune in late winter to balance growth among grafts, maintain tree shape, and renew productive wood. Thin fruit in early summer for improved fruit size and quality.
• Hardiness: Well-suited for USDA zones 5–9. Ripening times vary by graft combination, providing continuous harvests from early to late summer.
