Stanley Prune Plum Tree

The Stanley Prune Plum Tree (Prunus 'Stanley') has been around for a century and is the most popular European plum variety on the market. What makes the Stanley European so popular? Not only can you plant it for its wonderful plums, but it also makes a great ornamental with it beautiful, dark green foliage.

Stanley produces a medium-size, opulent dark blue to purplish-red fruit. The light yellow flesh has a hint of green that looks stunning next to its dark skin. Its flesh is firm and does not cling to the stone. It is tender and fine grained, with high sugar content, so it will fill your mouth with its sweet, tasty juice with every bite. The fruit is great for eating fresh, or you may them for later use. This variety is also excellent for drying.

When spring arrives, you will see your Stanley covered with snow white blossoms, bringing in hungry butterflies and bees that will help with pollination. While the Stanley European Plum will self-pollinate, you will get a better yield if you plant it with a partner plum, like the Mount Royal, that blooms at the same time. It does bloom later than most plums, so it is less likely to be damaged by a late frost.

Stanley is of average size, and will give you a large crop year after year. During the summer, enjoy the deep green foliage as you wait for midseason to late harvest.

Your Stanley will love full sun and well drained soil. You should water it weekly when it is young, but remember to give it an extra drink or two when it is hot and dry.
