This cultivar bears round, golden,firm, freestone plums with high red blush. While not as large as Shiro, the cultivar ripens 10-14 days earlier. Trees are very vigorous, outgrowing other plum cultivars. It has a biennial fruiting habit but can be eliminated with proper thinning and irrigation. [25] 'Golden Japan'

Plums are grown commercially in orchards, but modern rootstocks, together with self-fertile strains, training and pruning methods, allow single plums to be grown in relatively small spaces. Their early flowering and fruiting means that they require a sheltered spot away from frosts and cold winds.
Japanese plum is a common name for several trees producing edible fruits and may refer to: Prunus mume; Prunus salicina, native to China; Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)
The word umeboshi is often translated into English as 'salted Japanese plums', 'Japanese plums' or 'preserved plums'. Ume (Prunus mume) is a species of fruit-bearing tree in the genus Prunus, which is often called a "plum", but is actually more closely related to the apricot. [1] Pickled ume which are not dried are called umezuke (梅漬け). [2]
It is used in the making of umeboshi (pickled plums) to give the plums a red color. The leaves turns bright red when steeped in umezu, the vinegary brine that results as a byproduct of pickling plums. [31] [32] It can also be combined with umezu to make certain types of sushi. In the summer, it is used to make a sweet, red juice.
Its common names include Chinese plum, [2] [3] [4] Japanese plum, [5] and Japanese apricot. The flower, long a beloved subject in the traditional painting and poetry of Sinospheric countries (including China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan), is usually called plum blossom. [6] This distinct tree species is related to both the plum and apricot trees. [7]
The 'Climax' tree is less productive than some other plum cultivars. The fruit is extremely large and heart-shaped, with yellow flesh that is sweet and very juicy. The flesh clings to the stone. The skin is dark red with yellow spots, and somewhat unpleasant in flavour, but peels away easily from the flesh when the fruit is fully ripe. [1]
