The Bubblegum Plum (Prunus salicina ‘Toka’) also known as the Toka Plum, is a cold-hardy Japanese plum tree famous for its sweet, spicy, bubblegum-like flavor. This Japanese-American hybrid plum produces medium-sized fruit with reddish-bronze skin and golden flesh, making it ideal for fresh eating, desserts, jams, and preserves.
A heavy bloomer, the Bubblegum Plum is one of the best pollinator plum trees for other Japanese and hybrid plum varieties, thanks to its abundant, fragrant white spring blossoms. Highly valued for its cold hardiness, reliability, and strong production, it thrives in regions requiring 800–1,000 chill hours and is a top pick for home orchards and northern growers.
Required Chill Hours: 800–1,000

| 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. |
