types are delicious eaten fresh also, just not as juicy.

Add 5 dollars per tree if ordering less than
3 trees.
Zone 3 hardy rootstock, adaptable to wide

Todd:
Large prune type plum. Z 3
Plums crosses (Jap Amer) These plums need
pollinization from other plums or wild American
or wild Japanese plums (Prunus americana or Prunus salicina) I recommend
a wild American plum as a pollinizer, they can mean the difference between
a few fruits per tree or branches laden with fruit.
