Customer Tips & Reviews Burdekin Plum
COUTTS CROSSING, NSW
Burdekin Plum
Settled in well and lots of new growth. Planted before rains; semi sheltered from winds by bracken I have left in situ. I have made amazing jam from the fruit when in NQ and hoping to be able to do the same here in Northern NSW once they are established and fruiting.
RAYMOND TERRACE, NSW
Burdekin Plum
This plant was a gift, I know nothing about it, it's my first time to have an encounter with this plant. However, it's overwintering gracefully in the grow tent.
MOUNT BARKER, WA, Australia
Doubles its size in 6 months. Just give water, too easy to grow.

Thriving. Transplanted to a larger pot until spring. Once in the pot, 3 new branches formed.
CAMBEWARRA, NSW
Burdekin Plum
I border a reserve on a creek so planting the Plums to have a hedging instead of a fence and the Lomandras fill the gaps. So far so good. Keeping them moist continually in the tubes before planting has helped.
LILLIAN ROCK, NSW
Burdekin Plum
I don't know much about this tree, but I believe it will grow well in this area, and it's a native, so what's not to like. And the fruit looks good too.
Burdekin Plum
As kids living at Bustard Head Lighthouse Station, we used to bury the Burdekin Plums in the sand in a paper bag. Ripened beautifully. Lots of trees growing wild at Boyne Island/Tannum Sands.
PADDINGTON, NSW
When I planted it out, lost all its leaves and shrivelled up. thought it was dead, but somehow it put on some new growth a couple of months later! struggling now, but better than dead!

We have a large burdekin plum tree that produces a bumpa crop of fruits. They are not very tasty as a little astringent but if left to soften a bit better. Haven't tried to make anything with them. Flying fox love them.
Captain Creek, QLD
Burdekin Plum
I heard a good one recently ...soak overnight with charcoal to soak up the bitterness. this was apparently done by the aboriginals. I have not tried it. If anyone has some ripe fruit I have a lady keen to make jam with it.

A friend just substituted Burdekin Plums for say ordinary plums boiled up the chopped plums with sugar, removed the seeds (left skin in for jam and strained for a jelly). Very Nice!

I use fertiliser for my 1 and half year old plant. I reccomend Osmocote native plants. Availadle from Bunnings warehouse.

Burdekin plums are like paw paw's. you need a male and a female tree to be able to produce fruit.

I made a cordial by boiling the ripe whole fruit & straining the liquid, then added sugar. Does anyone have any jam/jelly recipes?

I have a tree grown from seed originating at Mt Perry. A heavy crop after 6 years. I am allowing fruit to ripen and dry in sugar and some salt.When finished I will let all know the result. A bit tart for me as is!

The dry seeds found under parenting trees can be used to make jewellry beads! Also, throw seeds in fresh water creeks or rivers and they can grow in more places.
