- Plant seedlings: mid Sep to late MarTawonga South area, temperate oceanic
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Tawonga South. 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.
