QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • What is the difference between semi-dwarf and dwarf and how tall will each grow? Thank you

    In plums the difference is about 2 feet in height and width.

  • How old are these that are shipped?

    3 years old and 4'-5' tall when shipped

  • What are the chill hours required for this tree and how long before bearing fruit? I'm a Master Gardener in Houston,Texas, but I loved eating them from the trees by the railroad tracks during my childhood in Iowa. I'm giving it a wing either way, but would like to know more. Thanks and I'm eagerly awaiting my tree!

    Roughly 800 chilling hours

  • 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.

The tree looks great

The tree arrived in March, was in good condition, and was planted immediately. It didn't bud for awhile because of cold weather. Once spring finally arrived, buds appeared. These have grown into young branches with dark green leaves. Four months after arrival, the tree looks great.

Beautiful bare root tree leafed out quickly and is growing strongly. Second purchase from Raintree Nursery. I highly recommend them.

Plum tree

Arrived which looked like just a stick. Soaked in water overnight and planted. Within a few days had buds coming out all over. Have to admit, I didn’t have much hope for tree but now just have to wait till tree matures and we get fruit
