Methley Plum
Prunus saliciina
Methley is a Japanese purple red plum with red flesh that is delicious fresh. Seed adheres to the flesh. Very productive doing better than most plums in warmer climates, even Hawaii. The small tree is disease resistant and a good choice for organic growers. Can produce fruit when planted alone and pollinates other Japanese plums. Space 12' circle. Zones 5-9
