Instant Orchard Methley Plum Tree

Enjoy delicious homegrown plums sooner with our Instant Orchard Methley Plum Tree. These premium oversized trees are much larger than standard nursery stock, allowing you to establish a productive orchard faster and begin harvesting flavorful fruit years earlier.

Methley is one of the most popular Japanese plum varieties for home orchards, prized for its heavy crops, outstanding flavor, and dependable performance. The medium to large fruit features attractive purplish-red skin with juicy amber-tinged red flesh. Its sweet, mild flavor makes it an excellent choice for fresh eating, jams, jellies, preserves, and desserts.

An early bloomer and vigorous producer, Methley ripens in early June, providing one of the first plum harvests of the season. It is also an excellent pollinator for many other Japanese plum varieties, making it a valuable addition to any home orchard.

Our Instant Orchard™ trees feature a 3/4″ – 1″ trunk caliper and are typically 6–7 feet tall at the time of shipping. While fruit production is not guaranteed the first year after planting, many trees will produce early. By planting a larger tree, you’re investing in time—bringing your orchard to fruit-bearing age sooner and enjoying delicious homegrown plums earlier than with standard-sized trees.

Mature Size: 15–20 ft. tall (with pruning)
Ripens: Early June
Pollination: Self-fertile, but planting another Japanese plum variety nearby will increase fruit production. Also serves as an excellent pollinator for many other Japanese plum varieties.

We do not ship fruit trees to California.
