Prunus domestica 'Mount Royal'

Every August, a huge crop of delicious, small-to-medium plums ripen in abundant clusters on this hardy, European plum tree. The roundish, freestone blue plums with yellow flesh are excellent for fresh eating, canning, drying or freezing. Mount Royal is a self-fertile tree, developed in Quebec prior to 1903.

Easily one of the hardiest and most widely adapted of the tested European plums, Mount Royal bears a heavy annual crop.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • What size of the tree I will receive?

    Most of our European plums will be shipped at 3'-4' tall.

  • Hi there! You say on this page that the Mature Height is 12'. Is that for a dwarf or semi-dwarf?

    The Dwarf will get to 8' - 10' and the Semi-dwarf can get up to 12'. 

  • Will Mount Royal plum be a good pollinator for one of the green gage plums that you offer? It is my dream to have a wonderful green gage tree of my own?

    Gage plums bloom a little earlier and may not always overlap. Gage plums do best with other gage plums, but are also pollinated by damson plums. 

  • I live in Upstate New York Zone 4, so I'm wondering when do you deliver

    We ship to Upstate New York beginning in mid-April

  • Is it possible to get a Mount Royal plum that hasn't been grafted? I desire a Mount Royal plum tree that will sucker, and produce babies. Thank you!

    No. Mount Royal does not come true from seed, nor propogate via suckering. If you want to produce your own Mount Royal plums you will need to graft them at home from a mother tree.

  • Will the Mount Royal plum tree be a good pollinator partner for an Italian plum tree?

    Mount Royal is a great pollination partner for any European plum, however Italian Prune plums do not produce much pollen to return the favor.

  • Will the Mount Royal pollinate a bubblegum plum?

    Bubblegum is a rebranding of the Toka plum, which is an Asian plum and will not cross pollinate with Mount Royal (a European Plum).

  • Will the Mount Royal pollinate a Seneca?

    Yes!

  • Can this variety tolerate alkaline soil? And is Stanley a good pollinator tree for it?

    The rootstock is tolerant, but not happy, in alkaline soils. Consider a regular soil ammendment to keep it happy. Stanley is a good pollinizer yes.
