Emerald Beaut is one of the highest-rated plums in blind fruit tastings at Dave Wilson Nursery. This medium-sized plum begins to ripen in early August, showing a light green skin with a yellow-to-orange freestone flesh. Ripe fruit continues to sweeten, becoming exceptionally sweet while staying crisp and crunchy. Emerald Beaut holds on the tree an incredible two months or more. The light-colored skin makes Emerald Beaut more susceptible to bruising than other plums. The very vigorous, upright tree requires a very late-blooming pollenizer. Estimated chilling requirement 600 to 700 hours. (U.S. Plant Patent No. 9162).
