Sweet Treat Pluerry

Prunus salicina × avium 'Sweet Treat'

“Self-fertile. 200 hours. The plum-cherry hybrid that actually works.”

Zaiger Genetics spent decades crossing plums and cherries to produce something neither parent could be alone. Sweet Treat is the workhorse of the pluerry line — self-fertile, about 200 chill hours, and produces dark reddish-purple fruit with an intensely sweet, dense flavor closer to a dark cherry than a plum. Ripens late spring to early summer. Zone 7–10. No pollenizer needed. If you want one unusual stone fruit tree that makes people ask questions, this is it.
