Burbank Plum is a good choice for customers who want a flavorful Japanese plum for fresh eating, jelly, jam, preserves, canning, desserts, and backyard recipes. The fruit is usually round with red to purple skin and amber-yellow flesh. When ripe, the flesh is juicy, aromatic, and sweet, making it useful for both fresh eating and kitchen use.

This variety was introduced by Luther Burbank and became one of the well-known Japanese plum cultivars for home orchards. It can be a nice fit for edible landscapes, backyard fruit gardens, small farms, and Southern fruit plantings where chill hours and bloom timing are suitable.

Burbank should not be sold as a dependable stand-alone plum tree. It needs cross-pollination from another compatible Japanese plum cultivar for best fruit set. Planting more than one plum variety with overlapping bloom time is one of the best ways to improve production.
