Plum Tree 'Stanley Prune'
Pre-order now for delivery in April-May! The Stanley prune plum tree is a classic European plum variety prized for its dark blue-purple fruit and rich, sweet flavor. The elongated plums have firm, yellow flesh that is excellent for fresh eating, baking, and drying into prunes. Stanley plums ripen in late summer and are known for their dependable yields, making this tree a favorite among home gardeners. To care for a Stanley prune plum tree in a home garden, plant it in a sunny location with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Choose well-drained soil, as plum trees are sensitive to standing water. Water regularly during the first few growing seasons, then deeply during dry periods. Prune annually in late winter to remove dead or crowded branches and maintain good airflow. Stanley plum trees are partially self-fertile, but planting another European plum nearby can improve fruit size and overall production. Arrives to you in a 5 gallon pot.
