No Alan, I did not mean to make a bad criticism about the Ozark Premier variety, which is in fact one of the varieties of Japanese plum that I like the most, what happens is that last year I wasI harvested it too late, and I the overripe pulp of this variety becomes mushy, but Ozark Premier harvested at its optimum is a true marvel (it is a highly commendable variety).
Apart from Ozark Premier, if I have to make a small selection of the varieties of Japanese plums that I like from my orchard, then there are these varieties (and you will see how we coincide).
- Laroda
- Owen T
- Elephant Heart
- Primetime
- Crimson Glo (it’s one of my favorites)
- Emerald Beaut
- Mariposa (I prefer Mariposa to Satsuma and I have both)
- The Israelies Ben Dor shark teeth plum varieties (they are all very good)
- Laetitia
- Au-Rubrun (I have grafted AU-Producer, and AU-Roadside but they have not yet fruited)
- Late Blue
- Tasty Sweet
Of the Japanese plum varieties developed in Europe, some of the Ebony varieties from the Provedo nursery program should be highlighted, and especially these two Italian varieties from the Stonefruit company program.
- Pink Jewel-11
- Pink Saturn-5
I like those from Oceania
- Luisa
- Lucy
Of Culdevco’s South Africans these are great
- African Deligth

You have not tried these and they are incredible
- Flavor Star
https://www.culdevco.co.za/plums/flavour-star/
- Ruby Star (this variety is especially good)

These are just some examples of the varieties that I like and in this small selection I could include a lot more.
But I repeat, Ozark Premier is a fantastic plum variety.
I speak only of varieties of Japanese plums, and I do not include interspecific hybrids in the list because I consider them in a different category -
