USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Stanley Plum Tree is self-pollinating, meaning you don’t need another tree for fruit production. However, planting additional trees can increase fruit size and improve yield.
  • Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, planting other varieties will improve pollination and provide a larger, more consistent harvest.
  • Fruit Description: The Stanley plums are large, round, with a deep purple skin and firm, juicy flesh that becomes tender and sweet once fully ripe.
  • Taste: Known for their bold, sweet flavor with a slightly tart finish, Stanley plums are ideal for fresh eating or using in both savory and sweet dishes.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late summer to early fall, typically from August to September, providing a late-season harvest of delicious plums.

How to Plant & Grow Stanley Plum Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day ensures healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.5) enriched with organic matter to ensure healthy root development and fruiting.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to provide enough space for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Stanley Plum Tree typically grows to a mature height of 15-20 feet, making it ideal for both small and large gardens or orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to allow for proper root expansion and establishment.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune the tree annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape it for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote healthy root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to support fruiting.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.
