Description

Candy Heart Pluerry trees are a gardener’s delight, producing heart-shaped fruit with deep red skin and sweet, juicy flesh. Combining the flavors of plums and cherries, this fruit is perfect for fresh eating, desserts, or gifting. The tree thrives in sunny, well-draining soil and requires a pollinator, such as Sweet Treat or Flavor Punch, for abundant harvests. Candy Heart ripens late in the season, extending your orchard’s productivity. With its unique shape, exceptional flavor, and manageable growth, Candy Heart Pluerry is an enchanting addition to any garden or orchard.
