PLUMS
|
We have found plums to be relatively easy to grow, and have had great success in our area. We have found some of the best flavored fruit that you can't find in stores are some of the plum varieties that grow well here. We absolutely love the variety named Mount Royal. If your looking to try one this is the variety we would recommend.

Mount Royal

Blue, European plum. Good eaten off tree or used in dessert, jam, and preserves. Tender, juicy flesh. The tree itself has a nice, rounded form, reaching 12'x10' at maturity. Self fertile but does benefit from cross pollination.

Excellent pollinator for other varieties of plum. Vase-shaped tree has medium-sized, richly flavored clingstone fruit. Red skin and apricot colored flesh that ripens in early fall. Self fertile but does benefit from cross pollination.
