Semi Dwarf Emerald Beaut Plum on Citation (Prunus salicina ‘Emerald Beaut’) is a late-ripening Japanese plum variety prized for its large, green-skinned fruit with firm, golden-yellow flesh and outstanding, long-lasting sweetness. Unlike most plums, Emerald Beaut actually improves in flavor and quality the longer it hangs on the tree, holding well into fall without losing texture or taste. Perfect for fresh eating, dehydrating, or desserts, its crisp yet juicy flesh makes it a standout in both home orchards and gardens. Grafted onto Citation rootstock, this tree offers moderate vigor, soil adaptability, and dependable crops of exceptional fruit.
Growing Semi Dwarf Emerald Beaut Plum on Citation
Light: Requires full sun for optimal ripening, sweetness, and fruit color.
Soil: Grows best in fertile, well-drained soils; amend with organic matter to encourage vigorous growth and productivity.
Water: Water deeply and regularly during the growing season, especially in hot and dry periods. Reduce watering after harvest.
Fertilizer: Apply a balanced orchard fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to promote healthy foliage and reliable yields.
Pollination: Not self-fertile; requires a compatible Japanese plum variety such as Beauty or Santa Rosa for effective pollination and heavy fruit set.
Maintenance: Prune in late winter to maintain structure, improve airflow, and encourage new fruiting wood. Thin fruit in early summer to improve fruit size and overall quality.
Hardiness: Best grown in USDA zones 4–9. Fruit ripens later in the season, often holding on the tree well beyond harvest time.
