Helene S. Finally found someone who knows their plums! Michelle spent so much time explaining the care. Much better than the big box stores.

Sweet Golden Plums — One of the Earliest to Ripen
The Early Golden plum is a heritage variety that delivers sweet, golden-yellow freestone fruit in mid-summer — often before most other plum varieties are even close to ready. If you love fresh plums and want to extend your harvest season, this is a fantastic early-season choice.
Why Gardeners Love It
- ⏰ Early harvest — one of the first plums to ripen, often ready in mid-July
- 🟡 Sweet golden-yellow fruit — freestone, with a mild, honey-sweet flavour
- 🌿 Heritage variety — a time-tested classic with reliable production
- 🧳 Versatile — excellent fresh, in jams, and for preserves
- 🌱 Supplied bare root — plant in early spring for best results
Pollination
Early Golden benefits from a pollinator for best fruit set. Plant alongside another plum variety for a significantly larger harvest. More pollinators = more bounty!
Growing Notes
Prefers full sun. Well-drained soil is essential. Water regularly in the first season. Hardiness Zone: 4–5 — best suited to southern Ontario and sheltered locations.
