QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • How tall are the trees at shipping? 2-3ft, 3-4ft, or 4-5ft? Thanks!

    These trees are 4'-5' tall at shipping

  • When can the plum tree be planted

    We will ship this tree to you when the planting time is right for your zone. Typically early spring through early summer is fine, as long as the daytime temperatures remain below 70 degrees.

  • How old are the trees you are selling?

    2-3 years old at the time of shipping

  • Does the Italian prune have any resistance to black knot?

    No. The only european plum bred for black knot is President, which we do not currently carry.

  • How wide does the tree with Krymski rootstock grow?

    14-16 feet at maturity.

  • Is the Italian prune, European Plum self pollinating? Is there a specific tree that is recommended as a companion for cross-pollination? Thank you!

    It is self fertile and blooms so late there is poor pollination overlap with other plums.

Happy days are here again

When I was a kid, my grandmother had two of these in her backyard. Early every autumn, my brothers and I would gorge ourselves on these fruit and I've been looking for this particular cultivar off and on for years. The tree I ordered in January arrived in March, still dormant. I planted it the day it arrived and it's beginning to come out of dormancy. I was impressed with the size of both the tree and the root system. In a year or two I'll be gorging myself with these plums and I cannot wait. Thank you Raintree!

Beautiful tree

The tree came well packaged along with the other fruit trees I had ordered. There was no sign of damage. I planted it following the instructions provided. Leaves have started to show up within a couple of days of planting.

Hoping it will be plum delicious in a few years

The Italian prune plum tree came promptly, well protected in a sturdy cardboard box. We soaked it for a few hours and planted it according to directions. It is now leafing out a few days after planting. Looking good!

italian prune and vandalay cherry

This has been the second purchase using Raintree, and I am thrilled with all of them. The trees came in great condition and had no problems with any other them. This last purchase came late in the season and I was a bit concerned about them being in dormacy so long, but all three trees began showing leaf bud developement within one week of being in the ground and are well on there way. Very happy with my purchases and customer serive. thank you
