Methley Plum trees are known for their ease of growth, abundance of sweet fruit, and the ornamental beauty of the tree itself. Originating in South Africa, Methley Plum was introdu ced to the United States in 1922. It is a variety of Japanese Plum, prunus salicina ‘Methley.’ The plums are known for their mild, sweet taste, and red to purple colored skin. The flesh is red and juicy. These plums are clingstone, meaning the pit clings to the flesh of the fruit, and the tree is a heavy bearer, producing a high yield of fruit. Growing well in hardy zones 5-9, it is self-pollinating, but adding another pollinator nearby may increase the size of your crop. Pollinate with Black Ruby Plum Trees.
