New Oka Cherry Plum is a unique hybrid that combines the sweet, juicy flavor of traditional plums with the cold hardiness of western sand cherries. It has slightly larger fruit than Dura with a brighter, more complex flavor profile. It ripens earlier than many hybrids like Opata, providing a reliable early-season harvest.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 2
Mature Size: 8-10 ft tall and wide
