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.
