Beauty Asian Plum

Most of the plant did not leaf out. Small shoot alive. Was told by raintree we didn’t prune enough before planting. Hopefully recovers, but didn’t have this issue with 9 other bareroot we planted this year.

Other trees we had were maybe better pruned prior to shipping?

I was really happy with the way my tree was delivered and the shape of the tree. I planted it the day I got and it's already getting leaves.

Last year we purchased 2 different Asian Plums. They arrived on time and in very good condition. Right away, the little trees started growing little buds and we even had a few flowers on them. This is the second year, they have come through our terrible bitter cold winter and are flowering like mad here in SE Wisconsin. Hopefully our crazy spring won't kill them off as 28 degrees is expected tonight; April 19th. (Will be carefully covering them) Looking forward to seeing whether these flowers will be producing any fruit this year. Love this company! Excellent products.

Everyone cross their fingers with me on this plum! I watched the YouTube videos for planting and pruning and immediately noticed that the video showed a bareroot fruit tree with LOTS of roots to it; some thicker, some more fibrous. Mine had ONE thick root that was wound up in a circle and only about 3 little fibrous roots. I don't know how well it will do because it looked pretty wimpy, definitely not even close to the healthy roots shown in the video. With all of my hope and your best wishes for it, let's hope it survives!

The tree is vigorous, fruit is truly beautiful, but it's not very sweet, excessively tart, not flavorful. Disappointing as a fruit tree, but lovely as an ornamental. Sadly, with only limited space in my orchard, I have to make every tree count. I will cull this one and plant another apple tree.

Delivered in excellent condition

The plum trees were great looking specimens and packaged perfectly. I can’t say yet how they will produce but it seems like they are primed for the best start. Loved that they included a QR code with planting instructions.

Made it to Wisconsin and growing nicely within 2 weeks of planting, the tiny buds opened. Root graft is great with no damage at all to trunk cambium. Barefoot specimen much healthier than plants I have received from other US nurseries . I will update in two years if allowed.

Plant Arrived Healthy, with a Big Root Structure, and MANY Branches.

The Only Negative Thing I could Say, is I wasn’t satisfied with the plants crotch angles on its branches. All of this tree’s branches were shooting straight up.

I like to train my scaffold branches to around 45*, and when the tree comes with all vertical shoots, it makes it very difficult to train the branches without snapping them off the tree. I feel like I need to cut all the branches off, and start over, which could kill the tree.

Overall, I ordered 6 trees from this company this year. All of them arrived healthy. This is the only tree I wasn’t 100% satisfied with.

I received a 5' tall bareroot tree with a thick trunk and 20 branches. Initially I was very impressed, but as I unwrapped it, I noticed it had four competing leaders and almost all major branches were crossing each other. Then I unpacked the root ball and noticed it was very small relative to the tree. Thanks to watching Raintree videos, I know how to prune a tree so that it has no crossing branches and no competing leaders, and so that its branching is proportional to its root system. But what a bummer to have to cut off so much of my new tree! I wish it had been managed more thoughtfully in its youth. Otherwise it looks very healthy! And I'm sure it will recover fine.

The bare root tree arrived in great condition. Lots of buds and nothing broken. I plant bare root trees in a large pot the first year, then bury the pot in the location the tree will go. I find it easier to control water and nutrients that way. Next dormant season it goes in the hole where it lived in the pot. Works good for me.

Was carefully packaged and delivered. Tree is already covered in leaves and it's only been a month since planting. Can't wait for the harvest!

I just got the tree last week and planted it in a pot. It’s still in dormancy, but the trunk was so much thicker than I anticipated, and the bare branches look big and sturdy. I was actually shocked at how big and mature it looked. I ordered another plum tree from another company last year (paid more, too!), and the trunk on that one was a little whip. I’m excited to see how the tree does.

Ive had Shiros- incredibly prolific, very juicy in fact mostly juice, sweet with a sour skin. Beauty on the other hand is more meaty and has a much more intense flavor with a slighlty tart skin- it also bears alot of fruit. I often make plum salad. Sliced beauty plums, white balsamic vinegar, thinly sliced parmesan on top with some cracked black pepper- Its great! Sounds weird? They are excellent right off the tree

Over the past two years, we have added 16 fruit trees to our property. Our Beauty Plum is by far the largest, healthiest tree we have planted. It is already about ten feet tall and it is loaded with baby plums this spring, just two years after planting. It looks so good that we are adding several more plum trees to our small family orchard this year. This was a great first plum tree to plant and is definitely an early producer. It has been fun to watch this tree grow.
