Product Name: May Crisp Plum (Phoenix Plum)
Description:
May Crisp Plum, also known as Phoenix Plum or Early Red Spot Plum, is a premium early-maturing plum variety from China. It ripens in late May to early June, providing a first-to-market advantage during the early summer season.
A Plum You Can Eat with the Skin On:
Unlike most plums that have bitter or astringent skin, the May Crisp Plum features ultra-thin skin with no bitterness, astringency, or sourness – it tastes the same as the sweet flesh inside. This unique trait allows consumers to enjoy the whole fruit without peeling.
Flavor & Texture:
Exceptionally sweet with a rich plum aroma and 18% Brix, the fruit offers a crisp, tender texture that literally melts in your mouth. The flesh separates cleanly from the tiny pit (freestone), giving an edible rate of up to 97%.
Size:
Average weight of 32.5g, with neatly shaped, uniform fruit.
Growing Advantages:
High-yielding with 4,000–6,000 jin per mu, wide adaptability across multiple provinces, and excellent storage tolerance with up to 25 days on the tree after maturity – making it ideal for e-commerce and long-distance shipping.
Harvest Season:
Late May to early June – an early summer delicacy with strong market demand.
