About This Variety
Meet This Variety
European plum (Prunus domestica L.) seeds produce perennial seedling trees for a long-term orchard or edible-landscape project. Seed-grown trees are genetically variable, so fruit appearance, flavor, tree habit, and other traits are not guaranteed to match the parent shown.
Grow in full sun with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Follow the packet guidance for any cold-moist preparation and give young seedlings consistent moisture, bright light, and room to establish.
