Donsworth plum has been available in Australia for many years and PlantNet® now makes it available as Dwarf Donsworth Plum. All varieties chosen in the dwarf range produce full size fruit and are sweet and crisp to eat. Please be advised we recommend dwarf trees are staked permanently due to trees producing high crop loads.

Dwarf Donsworth Plum is a popular Japanese plum variety with dark red flesh and red to purple skin. This variety is available worldwide and is now accessible to more gardeners as a dwarf!

Suitability
