Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
Very funny looking!
Now ya gotta tell us when you make some jam with them Mark. I bet it’ll be delicious! Thanks for sharing! ~Lisa
Your plum tree reminds me of the Jaboticaba where its fruits grow along the trunk. Take a look at this picture: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/Jaboticaba-Tree.htm?tmsb=4cncfei&tmrl=sknicx&tmsl=product-customers-who-bought-also-bought&tmty=w&tmcv=15&tmcs=mgcpwge
I'm not sure this will be in my future, but it is interesting to know about!
What a great little tree! , They grow like a jaboticaba which similarly the fruit fly don’t hit.
Awsome how old does.the tree need.to be before it fruits?
Hi Mark i have a 5 meter tree gives consistent fruit every year,.I let them age & & they are great,Thanks mate
I love the juicy sour taste of greengages. Does the Davidson plum taste like them?
When is the best time to plant?
Mark, Whenever you eat any fruit of ur trees' harvest. You make my mouth water.
the vegan athlete fro phone, Ariz, talked about a Jebudicaba from Brazil requiring morning sun and afternoon shade
You know, Mark, sometimes it just feels like… Like you're so far away… :,( Jokes aside, though, interesting topic.
I have a Davidson plum and I make a lovely dessert with it Just boil up the Davidson plums with apple and if you don't want to use super use dates. Put it in the fridge and it's lovely with ice cream or custard or make a cake with it.
They are very nice to eat, if you like sour deeply flavoured fruit. I would compare the flavour to a combination of plum and rhubarb. They do make a great jam and go well with other sweeter fruit in drinks.
Is there any hint of bitterness on the skin if you eat it in the green stage? Some unripe plums do have bitter skins and so I was wondering if an unripe Davidson plum would also have some bitterness. I prefer it to be green, crunchy and sour (but not bitter) dipped with salt. If it's not bitter in the green stage, then I'm planting one for sure.

Hi Mark, is that the Jerseyana (NSW) variety? Just bought a Jerseyana for us down here in Wynnum as I thought the Pruriens (QLD) might get a bit too tall. How tall is yours now?
We have them in Alice Springs
Thx
If got an test about this
Hi Mark – I have a Davidson Plum and always have lots of fruit – do you know what pollinates this tree? Insects?
someone with a good heart send me kakadu plum seeds. I love this tree without knowing it and would love to spread it in Brazil. Send me a message in my email: alcidestlj1@gmail.com
Have you ever grown rhubarb? i'd love to see a video on that too!! i'm going to try out the rosella and this type plum and use your recipes for jams : ) Thanks mark!
Hi can you arrange me some seeds I can pay the courier charges by PayPal.It will be great if I can grow this in India
Davidson Plums are my all time favourite fruits for making jam. The fruit is so sour that it's perfect when mixed with sugar. Once made in to jam it taste a bit like sherbet.
How old is your tree Mark? It looks so healthy 🙂
I just bought a Jaboticaba. I think it's similar or the same tree. Great video!
