Sprite

Sprite is a modern hybrid Japanese / Myrobalan plum. The dark purple fruits have a golden yellow flesh and a sweet flavour.

The plums ripen over an extended period of about 3 weeks, which is ideal for the home orchard as it allows several pickings.

Sprite is unusual in being both very cold-hardy, so suitable even for USDA zone 4, but also needing only about 400 chill hours, meaning it can also be grown in areas with Mediterranean climates and very short mild winters.
