METHLEY PLUM TREE 7 GAL

The Methley Plum Tree is a true "beginner’s favorite," offering an abundant harvest with very little fuss. In zones 7 and 8, this vigorous tree typically reaches a mature size of 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, making it a fantastic shade provider or orchard anchor. It absolutely loves full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours daily to fuel its heavy mid-summer crops of sweet, red-fleshed fruit. One of its best features is its natural resistance to disease and drought once established, and while the fruit is a summer treat, the tree’s sturdy structure is generally avoided by deer in favor of softer landscape plants.

For a successful start, dig your hole twice as wide as the root ball and blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil. This creates the well-drained, nutrient-rich environment that plums need to thrive in our mountain soils. To keep your tree healthy and productive, feed it with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in early spring. This balanced, organic nutrition ensures your Methley stays strong and ready to provide years of juicy, sun-ripened snacks!
