Description
Semi-Dwarf Methley Plum, often called the “Sugar Plum,” is a highly productive Japanese variety known for its sweet, juicy fruit. The medium-sized plums are perfect for fresh eating, canning, and preserves, offering rich flavor and reliable harvests year after year. Its early ripening makes it a great choice for extending your fruit season.
Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Semi-Dwarf Methley Plum is self-pollinating and can also help pollinate other Japanese plum varieties for even greater yields. Its rounded, compact form makes it ideal for backyard orchards and smaller spaces. With beautiful early spring blooms and abundant mid-summer fruit, this plum tree delivers both ornamental charm and delicious rewards.
