The Black Ice Plum tree is a unique hybrid that combines the characteristics of a cherry plum tree and a Japanese plum. These plums are known for their large, round shape and striking blue-black color. The sweet and juicy yellow flesh of the Black Ice Plum is a delight to taste. This variety of plum is particularly cold hardy, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.  One of the standout features of the Black Ice Plum is its early ripening, with fruits ready for harvest in early August, much earlier than other plum varieties. It's important to note that Black Ice Plums require a pollinator, and the Toka Plum is highly recommended as the best choice for this purpose. With its unique blend of flavors, attractive appearance, and adaptability, the Black Ice Plum tree is a fantastic addition to any garden or orchard.
