Methley plum does it all. Sweet, mild tasting plums in abundance? Check. Pollenizer for every other variety of Japanese plum you can grow in Central Texas? Check. A beautiful tree in your landscape that will be covered with abundant, beautiful, fragrant flowers in early spring? Check, check, check. Plant a Methley with your other plums to have as many plums as humanly possible. We have one growing in the food forest and you can already see how cool they look as they mature (and hopefully we will be eating plums very soon)! 250 chill hours.
