Narrative
Type = Plum. Adapted for dry, limestone soil; will also thrive when transplanted to acid wet soils of east Texas. Tree with large single trunk and rarely produces root sprouts and thus does not form a thicket. Poor compatibility with the peach. Popular in Texas as an ornamental. Fruit is clingstone, amber-fleshed and richly aromatic, though tart.
