When to plant plum (european and japanese) in Little Topar
- Plant seedlings: mid Mar to late AugLittle Topar area, hot desert
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Little Topar. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A tough, productive stone fruit that does well across Adelaide, with Japanese plums ripening in summer and European plums in late summer and autumn. Japanese plums need less winter chill and suit the plains best. Many varieties need a pollination partner of the same group, so check before you buy.
