AU-Roadside is a newer, sweet fresh-eating plum variety developed by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station at Auburn University. Ideal for backyard orchards or small farms, AU-Roadside is known for its high yields of excellent-quality fruit, especially in areas affected by common plum tree diseases. It outperforms the Ozark Premier variety in the South and was selected from a cross between Ozark Premier and Methley plums.
This variety is resistant or tolerant to black knot, bacterial canker, bacterial fruit spot, and plum leaf scald, making it particularly valuable in the Southeast where these diseases are prevalent and have deterred plum production. Its disease resistance comes from the Ozark Premier parent, while both parents contribute to its excellent fruit quality.
