Buy Gulf Rose Plum Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Gulf Rose Plum, also written as Gulfrose, botanically known as Prunus salicina ‘Gulfrose’, is a low-chill Japanese-type plum developed by the University of Florida for Florida and Gulf Coast growing conditions.

Gulf Rose is part of the University of Florida Gulf series of plums, which were developed for mild winter areas where many traditional plum varieties do not perform well. This variety is known for its attractive dark reddish-purple skin, beautiful blood-red flesh, and high-quality fruit with a sweet, aromatic flavor.

This plum is a good choice for customers who want a red-fleshed plum for fresh eating, preserves, jelly, desserts, and backyard fruit gardens. The fruit is nearly round, firm, semi-freestone, and has good shelf life when picked at the right stage. Like many Japanese plums, the skin may have some tartness, but the flesh is sweet and flavorful.

Gulf Rose Plum Trees are well suited for home orchards, edible landscapes, backyard fruit plantings, and small farms in North Florida and nearby Southern areas. The tree has attractive spring blooms, summer fruit, and good landscape value when planted in full sun with good drainage.
