Plum - Tecumseh

Tecumseh is a hardy hybrid plum released by N.E. Hansen in South Dakota in 1923. He named it in honour of the celebrated Shawnee Nation Chief Tecumseh, a leader and great orator who worked for tribal unity. It produces a 2.5-3 cm plum that is deep purple with golden flesh. They are good for fresh eating and still firm enough for jams/jellies. Tecumseh is resistant to most insects and brown rot. The tree will grow upright and branch densely. Prune so the center remains open for ventilation and to ensure all fruit gets sun.
