Prunus salicina ‘ Mariposa ‘ Plum
Bare Rooted

The Mariposa plum is a popular Japanese variety known for its large, heart-shaped fruit and rich, sweet flavor. The skin is deep reddish-purple with greenish-yellow specks, while the flesh is dark red, juicy, and tender with a sweet taste and low acidity. It is a clingstone type, making it excellent for fresh eating, jams, and desserts. Mariposa plums ripen in mid to late summer and require a pollinator—typically another Japanese plum variety like Santa Rosa—for optimal fruit set. The tree is moderately vigorous, productive, and grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. Its beautiful spring blossoms also add ornamental value to gardens.
