Sprite is particularly interesting for growers seeking Japanese-plum quality in areas with cool or damp spring weather. This Japanese plum and cherry-plum hybrid produces dark purple fruit with juicy, fragrant golden flesh. Ripe fruit can remain on the tree for several weeks, extending the picking period. A compatible cherry plum or interspecific plum should be planted nearby for reliable pollination.

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.
