The Sprout’s Sunshine is a flavourful plum which originated not too far from our nursery. Yellowish green coloured plums that are firm, yellow fleshed and semi freestone. Sprout's Sunshine have a delicious balance between sweet and sour in taste, and their firmness proves to be an excellent trade for baking!
These plums produce good yields and average 3 to 4 cm (1 1/2") in size. Sprout's Sunshine plums ripen around late August and keep well after harvesting. An open pollinated seedling developed by Sprout Farms in Bon Accord, Alberta.
