The plums used for harvesting wild plums and fruits are basically “white plums.” However, rather than lumping them all together with “white plums”, please try to get a feel for the “differences” that can be made because our garden has many varieties. The famous plum “Juro”, which was bred and named in the local city of Odawara, is also a white plum. Of course, you can see it in the park, so please take a look!
