The Alderman Plum Tree is a very cold-resistant variety suitable for zones 3 and 4. It grows rapidly into a tree up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide. The large plums are very sweet and juicy, with bright-red skin and yellow flesh. It is a clingstone variety, ripening in August and carrying very heavy crops. Grow it in an orchard or in your flower garden – the spring blossoms are lovely.
