Friar Japanese Plum
Prunus salicina 'Friar'
- Summary
- Hardiness Zone & More
The Friar plum is a heavy bearer of large, round dark purple fruit that is resistant to cracking. It also has a sweet, firm, amber flesh. Friar is a good dependable producer, ripening early to mid-season
Friar was introduced in California by Dr. Weinberger in 1968.
Friar is a excellent plum for more traditional Japanese growing areas, so may not be as thrifty and good a producer in the more eastern areas. Requires cross pollination with Santa Rosa or another early blooming Japanese type.
