Patterson Pride Plum

Juliet Cherry is a cold-hardy dwarf sour cherry. The deep burgundy fruit are known for being sweeter than other varieties, often considered one of the sweetest dwarf sour cherries. They are well suited to fresh eating, baking, and preserves. In the spring, beautiful white flowers cover the branches, adding ornamental value.

Juliet Cherry was developed at the University of Saskatchewan. It is recommended to grow dwarf sour cherries as a shrub rather than a small tree. The shrub form tends to bear fruit earlier and is less susceptible to winterkill.

Sour cherries are self-fertile; however, planting with additional varieties for cross-pollination can increase yields.

The Patterson Pride Plum is known for its delicious flavor, with firm, sweet golden flesh and dark red skin that isn’t sour. The freestone plums can grow 4-5 cm in diameter and are well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. It can produce heavy yields that ripen in mid-September which is later than other plums.

C.F. Patterson developed the Patterson Pride Plum at the University of Saskatchewan. It is known for its semi-dwarf, weeping growth habit

Patterson Pride Plum is a hybrid between Canada Plum and Japanese Plum. For fruit production, it needs to be planted with another variety for cross-pollination. Canada Plum and American Plum are considered universal pollinizers.
