Brookgold Plum Tree (Prunus salicina × Prunus americana ‘Brookgold’)

Brookgold Plum Tree is a cold-hardy hybrid plum developed for northern climates, producing abundant crops of sweet, golden-yellow fruit with juicy flesh and excellent flavour. This Prunus salicina × Prunus americana hybrid combines the eating quality of Japanese plums with the exceptional winter hardiness of native American plums, making it an outstanding choice for Canadian home orchards.

In spring, Brookgold Plum Tree is covered with fragrant white blossoms that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, adding ornamental beauty to the landscape long before the fruit develops. By late summer, the tree produces generous harvests of medium to large golden plums that are delicious fresh from the tree and equally well suited for baking, preserves, jams, jellies, and canning. Its attractive rounded canopy and lush green foliage also make it a beautiful landscape tree.

Brookgold Plum Tree grows best in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering while establishing and during fruit development. Like most hybrid plum varieties, it requires a compatible plum pollinator planted nearby to ensure consistent fruit production. Its outstanding cold hardiness and dependable harvests make Brookgold an excellent addition to Prairie landscapes, backyard orchards, and edible gardens throughout Canada.
