QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Are these trees grafted and how long before they bear fruit

    They are grafted and within 2-3 years after establishing. Plums can take longer than apples or pears.

  • 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.

Healthy plants & great packaging

My 2 prune trees arrived in great condition! I followed the detail instructions…. The plants are very healthy. But the weather was weird, so I put them in buckets with moistened sawdust and kept them in our guest shower for about a week. My son helped me planted them in 25 gallons pots today. The roots are growing and some shoots are starting to come out!!! Can’t wait to see them bloom!!!!

Early in the Process

Our tree arrived in great shape, while surprised it looked like a stick (no branches) with well formed roots. It IS healthy and has many buds awaiting the weather to warm up and sprout. We're looking forward to seeing how it comes along. Reading past reviews, we'd like to know how these are doing 1, 2, or even 3 years later. An update on how well they are doing now.
