Mariposa Plum has been available in Australia for many years and PlantNet® now makes it available as Dwarf Mariposa 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.

The Mariposa Plum is one of the most popular Japanese plum varieties for Aussie gardeners!
