Description
Shiro is a classic yellow Japanese plum valued for sweet, mild flavor and very heavy production. It is best enjoyed fresh, and because it sets so heavily, thinning is essential for achieving larger, higher-quality fruit.
Introduced in 1899 to the US, Shiro became popular for its reliable cropping and approachable eating quality. The fruit ripens to a translucent golden yellow with tender flesh that is juicy and pleasant rather than sharp.
Left unthinned, Shiro produces an abundance of smaller plums. With proper thinning, however, the fruit size increases dramatically, turning a heavy set into fewer but genuinely impressive yellow plums. This responsiveness to thinning is one of Shiro’s defining traits and the key to getting the best results.
