Rainforest Plum has small, shiny, dark black fruit that is deliciously sweet and slightly acidic. In our greenhouses, it produces two crops a year, one in mid-summer and then again in the fall. Our Rainforest Plums are grown from seed and are shrubby trees that can be maintained at 4-6’ tall in containers. It is tolerant of dryness and responds well to pruning making it a good candidate to grow in a large pot. It generally begins flowering at 3-4’ tall and benefits from spending the summers outdoors which enhances the pollination. The fruit may be eaten fresh or made into jam.
