The Bubblegum Plum Tree, also known as the Toka Plum (Prunus salicina ‘Toka’), is a standout cold-hardy Japanese-American hybrid plum celebrated for its unique sweet, spicy, bubblegum-like flavor. This highly distinctive plum produces medium-sized fruit with reddish-bronze skin and golden-yellow flesh, delivering exceptional taste for fresh eating, desserts, jams, preserves, and baking. Its bold flavor profile has made it a favorite among plum enthusiasts and home orchardists alike.
Beyond its fruit, Bubblegum Plum is widely regarded as one of the best pollinator plum trees available. A heavy and reliable bloomer, it produces masses of fragrant white spring blossoms that overlap bloom times with many Japanese and hybrid plum varieties, dramatically improving fruit set across the orchard. Exceptionally cold hardy and dependable, Toka Plum thrives in regions requiring 800–1,000 chill hours, making it an excellent choice for northern climates, cold-winter regions, and traditional fruit-growing zones.
For growers seeking a cold-hardy plum tree that combines exceptional flavor, strong production, and unmatched pollination value, the Bubblegum (Toka) Plum Tree is a proven, high-performing addition to any home orchard.

| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
