{"product_id":"plum-krauter-vesuvius-5-gal-1","title":"KRAUTER VESUVIUS PURPLE LEAF PLUM TREE 5gal","description":"\u003cp\u003eKrauter 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#KrauterVesuviusPlum #OrnamentalEdible #PurpleFoliage #HomegrownPlums #WattersGardenCenter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monrovia Nursery Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44347593359568,"sku":"TR-FL-5-PLUM-PUPLELEAF","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/8331\/3360\/files\/Purple_Leaf_KV_Plum_1.png?v=1771891971","url":"https:\/\/wattersgardencenter.com\/products\/plum-krauter-vesuvius-5-gal-1","provider":"Watters Garden Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
