Prunus x domestica 'Scarlet Beauty'
The appeal of Prunus x domestica 'Scarlet Beauty' for growing in Florida lies in its low chill requirement, making it well-suited for the state's mild winters. This plum variety is heat-tolerant, early-ripening, and produces large, sweet, juicy fruit with deep red skin. Additionally, it is self-pollinating, which makes it easier to grow in home gardens without needing another plum tree for cross-pollination.
