KV PURPLE LEAF PLUM TREE 5gal

Krauter Vesuvius Plum is a striking addition to any landscape, offering more than just delicious fruit. Its deep, purple-red foliage provides a dramatic backdrop throughout the growing season, even before the plums ripen. This variety is a true ornamental edible, blending beauty with practicality.

These plums are cherry-sized, with dark, purplish skin and sweet, juicy flesh. They're excellent for eating fresh, canning, or making preserves, or leave them on the tree to attract birds; they will love you. The tree itself is a moderate grower, making it manageable for most gardens.

Like other plums, the Krauter Vesuvius thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. A good layer of Watters Premium Mulch will help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, and a spring feeding with Watters Fruit Tree Food will ensure a healthy, productive tree. Thinning the young fruit is also important to encourage larger, higher-quality plums at harvest time.
