Methley Plum

The Methley plum (Prunus 'Methley') is a small to medium-sized fruit tree known for its early-ripening, sweet, and juicy plums. The fruit has a deep red skin and golden-yellow flesh with a sweet, mildly tart flavor. Methley plums are great for fresh eating, jams, and preserves. The tree is hardy and adaptable, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. It is self-pollinating, though planting it near other plum trees can improve fruit yield. Methley plum trees require regular watering, annual pruning, and protection from pests and diseases to ensure healthy growth and a productive harvest.
