Gulf Ruby plum has been available in Australia for many years and PlantNet® now makes it available as Dwarf Gulf Ruby Plum. All plum 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.
Gulf Ruby Plum originated from the University of Florida and has since been shared worldwide. This plum produces sweet, juicy fruit with a small pit. Gulf Ruby Plum is a less vigorous variety.
