Yellow Egg Plum Tree in a convenient 5-gallon pot – a classic European-style plum known for its bright golden color, sweet flavor, and reliable cold hardiness. Perfect for fresh eating, canning, or making old-fashioned plum preserves, this heritage variety is a charming and productive addition to Northern Michigan gardens and orchards.

Appearance:

The Yellow Egg Plum produces large, oval-shaped fruit with smooth, golden-yellow skin and firm, juicy flesh. The flavor is rich and sweet, with just a touch of tartness when picked early. As the fruit ripens fully, it becomes increasingly sweet—ideal for jams, desserts, and baking. In spring, the tree is covered in a cloud of white blossoms that attract pollinators and add ornamental beauty to the landscape.

Growing Requirements:

  • Well-drained, moderately fertile soil
  • Full sun for optimal flowering and fruit production
  • Regular watering during dry spells, especially as fruit develops
  • Annual pruning in late winter to encourage healthy growth and maintain airflow

Mature Size/Shape:

  • Height: 15 to 20 feet
  • Spread: 12 to 15 feet
  • Upright to spreading growth habit with an attractive canopy of foliage and fruit, making it both a productive and ornamental tree

Why Yellow Egg Plum Tree Thrives in Northern Michigan:

The Yellow Egg Plum Tree is well-adapted to Northern Michigan’s seasonal climate. Its cold hardiness allows it to withstand harsh winters, and its bloom time typically avoids late spring frosts, helping to ensure reliable fruit set. The region’s rich soils and long summer days support the development of large, flavorful fruit.
