🌸🌱 PLUM TREES AT J&I NURSERY 🌱🌸
Plum trees are one of the most rewarding fruit trees you can grow.
In spring they’re covered in beautiful blossoms, and by summer they’re producing sweet, juicy fruit straight from your own tree.
Fresh eating. Cobblers. Jams. Jellies. Preserves.
A healthy plum tree can produce baskets of fruit year after year.

🌱 PLANTING TIP
Plum trees usually produce larger harvests when planted with another compatible plum variety nearby.
• Methley can self-pollinate but produces heavier crops with a partner.
• Santa Rosa, AU Rosa, Ruby Sweet, Bruce, Hanska, and Blue Damson benefit from cross-pollination.
Planting multiple varieties helps improve fruit set and overall production.
