Plums Trees
Plums have been enjoyed for hundreds of years! They are one of our favorite fruits here at Ison’s Nursery. Once you taste one from your own back yard – you will never want to buy them at the grocery store again. Plum trees require a well-drained fertile soil in full sun. Cross-pollination required except where noted. Plant 15 – 20 feet apart. The number of chill hours needed will be listed by each variety. They will bear in 2-3 years. Fruit yields: 2 bushels. Zone range 5-9.
