About Plum

Plums are one of the easiest and most reliable home orchard trees — hardy, adaptable, and heavily productive, with European and Japanese types for different climates.

Plant in full sun with good drainage. Most need a pollinator, so plant two compatible varieties. Thin fruit for size. Trees bear in 3-6 years.
