The Methley Plum Tree (Prunus salicina) is a vigorous, self-pollinating plum tree that will provide plenty of plums to last all season long. Perfect for the beginner gardeners as it is low maintenance. Produces small, maroon colored plums with red flesh and are absolutely perfect for eating. It features super strong limbs that are capable of supporting load of load of bundles of fruit year after year! Highly adaptable and disease resistant. The plums ripen in early to late June. Fruit are small and maroon colored with red flesh.

Plant in full sun, in non-alkaline, sandy loam soils with good drainage. Rainfall and/or high humidity during the growing season can reduce production by accentuating diseases and cause fruit cracking.

Prune only to remove deadwood, crossing branches, or fast growing shoot that appear along the trunk or branches. Over-pruning can stunt fruit production. 

The later plum trees bloom, the more tolerant they are to late frosts. Smaller trees can be covered to prevent damage. Not recommended for container growing. Maintain pH level of 6.0-7.0
