Plum, A.U. Producer
Prunus salicina 'A.U. Producer'

A.U. Producer Plum is a high-yielding, disease-resistant Japanese plum variety known for its large, firm fruit and excellent flavor. Developed by Auburn University's breeding program, this variety is especially prized for its resilience against common plum diseases and adaptability to warm climates. The fruit has a deep red-purple skin with yellow-orange flesh that is juicy and sweet with a touch of tartness, making it ideal for fresh eating, baking, and preserving. A.U. Producer ripens in mid to late summer, providing a generous harvest when many other varieties are finishing. It is partially self-pollinating but achieves higher yields when paired with other Japanese plum varieties like Methley or Ozark Premier.

Key Characteristics

  • High-Yielding, Disease-Resistant Variety
    A.U. Producer is known for its resistance to common plum diseases such as brown rot and bacterial spot, making it a reliable choice for growers in humid climates. Its resilience ensures healthier trees and a consistent, heavy crop year after year, making it a favorite among home orchardists.

  • Large, Sweet-Tart Fruit for Fresh Eating and More
    The plums of A.U. Producer are large, with a deep red-purple skin that contrasts beautifully with their golden-yellow flesh. The sweet, slightly tart flavor and firm texture make them perfect for enjoying fresh off the tree, as well as for baking, canning, or making jams and preserves.

  • Mid to Late Summer Harvest
    Ripening in July to August, A.U. Producer provides a steady supply of delicious plums during the heart of summer. Its harvest window extends the availability of fresh plums in the garden, making it ideal for those looking to enjoy the fruits of their labor throughout the season.

  • Partially Self-Pollinating with Enhanced Yields from Pollination Partners
    While A.U. Producer can produce some fruit on its own, it benefits from cross-pollination with other Japanese plum varieties like Methley, Ozark Premier, or Santa Rosa. A pollination partner increases fruit set and overall yields, making it a valuable addition to mixed orchards.

  • Attractive Spring Blossoms for Pollinator Support
    In early spring, A.U. Producer Plum trees are covered in clusters of fragrant white flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. These blossoms add ornamental appeal to orchards and support the health of local pollinator populations.
