{"product_id":"plum-emerald-beaut-japanese-zaiger-semi-dwarf","title":"Emerald Beaut Plum Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmerald Beaut Plum Tree proves that ripe plums do not need dark skin to deliver extraordinary sweetness. Its medium-to-large fruit remains vibrant green as it matures, hiding crisp golden-yellow flesh that becomes intensely sweet, juicy, and aromatic. The unusual color can surprise first-time tasters, while the fruit’s long hang time allows flavor to deepen over an extended picking window. Emerald Beaut is exceptional fresh and equally useful for salads, desserts, preserves, and elegant fruit plates. White spring blossoms and the jewel-green crop give the tree ornamental appeal from bloom through harvest. For gardeners who enjoy fruit with a little mystery, this late-season Japanese plum offers the pleasure of watching seemingly green fruit become progressively sweeter without losing its firm, refreshing texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmerald Beaut grows semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock and is suited to USDA zones 6–9, with a confirmed 600–700 chill-hour requirement. In suitable climates, harvest may span mid-August into early October. Plant in full sun, thin fruit, and allow suitable fruit to hang as sugars develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmerald Beaut requires a compatible Japanese plum or pluot.
