Common Name: Starking Delicious Plum
Plums are one of the most popular of the stone fruits. This plum is an exclusive introduction from Stark Bro's of Louisiana, Missouri. Stark Bro's sells this variety grafted to several different rootstocks which, inter alia, control the size of the tree (tree height in parenthesis): standard (15-20'), semi-dwarf (12-15') and dwarf (8-10'). The tree growing at the Kemper center is grafted to a dwarf rootstock. Dwarf trees bear standard-sized fruit but have the advantages of fitting into smaller spaces and of being more manageable (e. G. , easier to spray, prune and harvest)
