Kuban Comet Asian Plum

Prunus domestica ‘Kuban Comet’

A unique cultivar from Krymsk, Russia. This teardrop-shaped, cling stone plum has bright yellow, very sweet flesh. Kuban Comet is extremely hardy, so it thrives in cold climates. The self-fertile, dwarf tree, which reaches about 10′ tall, is very productive and easy to grow. 2 inch-long, yellow-orange fruits turn red when fully ripe in late July, and the tart skin resists cracks.

An unusually early bloomer, it is in bloom along with Asian plums here in the PNW. Not good to use as a pollinizer for other Euro plums.
