Backyard growers will love this variety for its reliable crop of large red-skinned plums with sweet yellow flesh! A. L. Bruce developed a hybrid in Texas in 1921 from a Japanese and a Chickasaw plum and created Bruce. This variety is an excellent choice for canning. The juicy, pale yellow flesh has a semi-acidic taste and mellow flavor.
