Methley Plum

This tree looks great year-round. In summer, this variety yields sweet, purple-red plums; in spring, it offers white, fragrant flowers; and in fall and winter, the tree offers structural interest and a great place to hang holiday lights. Vigorous, heat-tolerant and disease-resistant. A superb pollinator for other Japanese plums. Ripens in mid July. Self-pollinating.
