excellent

First this plum tree looked completely dead. According to planting instruction - it came to life in-between 3 days. This will be my place to cover all my plant needs.

Excellent Tree!
Reviewed By: William (Niceville, Florida)
After 1 year, the tree grew from 4 feet to 7 feet tall. I pruned the tree last fall and it has numerous buds on all of its branches. No fruit yet but I am sure that this one will be prolific. Will gladly purchase again. Currently, this specimen resides alongside my pool and I look forward to it bering fruit. Great variety for the panhandle of florida.

Stanley Plum
Reviewed By: K. Summers (Surrey, BC)
I bought my plum tree last spring. It was bear root and the nursery recommended that I not plant it until summer so the roots could grow in the pot and gather the soil around themselves. I temporarily buried the pot in the ground and then planted the tree late August. The nursury said that since the plum is of the "prunus" family (like the cherry) that it should be pruned in the summer and not the fall or spring when it is dormant. (I think this is because the wound may have trouble healing and make unsightly bulbous like scars) I was also not to prune the new tree this first year. It has been a year now and the tree needs a good pruning. Its branches are now quite long and I might say gangly?? I am thinking of getting a professional in for this first pruning to set the proper tone/look for the tree. Note I also have an Italian Plum tree and it hasn't got that same long branched gangly look, it is very shaply and attractive and will require little pruning this year. I am worried that if I cut too little from the branches that need pruning (they are so long) that the tree will look odd and its appearance will forever be an ugly reminder. I love reading other peoples reports. Thank you to all those who contribute.
