● AU Producer plum trees can be grown in USDA zones 5 through 9 and require 650 chill hours to set fruit. The name indicates high yields, which is true: you can certainly depend on high yields from this sweet plum tree. The plums will ripen in mid-to-late June, which broadens your fruit ripening time, makes it easier to harvest, and makes it attractive to wildlife year round. Your plum tree is grafted onto a semi-dwarf root stock and will only grow 12 to 15 feet tall, which also makes it easier to harvest. The fruit is used for canning, cooking, jelly, and attracting wildlife, and it can be dehydrated to greatly increase its shelf life.
● The AU Producer plum tree was developed at Auburn University and produces red sweet plum fruit. You can use these tasty fruits by eating them fresh, storing them, or incorporating them into your food plot plantings to attract more wildlife to your property for fresh meat.
They are semi-self-fertile, meaning they will produce fruit by themselves but will also benefit from cross-pollination. Growing AU Producer plums is a great investment and very cost-effective, as you can rely on them to produce high yields every year, while attracting other food sources, such as deer, to your property.
