Alderman Plum
Alderman Plum is a cold-hardy, Minnesota-bred plum tree that produces an outstanding crop of large, richly flavored fruit even in northern gardens. Known for its impressive dark red to burgundy plums with sweet, golden-yellow flesh, Alderman is a standout choice for gardeners in colder climates who want reliable, delicious summer fruit. Spring brings a gorgeous show of white blossoms before the generous harvest arrives in mid to late summer.
- Huge, 2–2.5 in. dark red to burgundy plums with golden, sweet-tangy flesh
- Exceptionally cold-hardy, thrives in Zones 3–8 where other plums fail
- Beautiful white spring blossoms add ornamental value to the landscape
- Ripens mid to late summer (July–August) for a generous harvest
- Grows 12–20 ft. tall; prune to maintain desired size
- Needs a pollinator, plant with Toka, Superior, or Methley plum nearby
- Ideal for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and baked goods
Plant Alderman Plum in full sun and well-drained soil for best fruit production. This variety was developed to withstand harsh northern winters while still producing heavy crops of high-quality plums. Water regularly during establishment and in dry spells. Fertilize in early spring to support vigorous growth. A cross-pollinator planted within 50 feet is essential for a good fruit set. Prune annually to maintain an open canopy and maximize light and airflow.
