Plant 2 varieties of Plums for cross-pollination. (Be sure to carefully check the nursery tags for the varieties.) A.U. Amber and Methley, exceptions to this rule, are partially self-fruitful from a home garden standpoint. They can be set as single trees with the understanding that production may be light in some years. To pollinate, the trees need to be within 100 to 200 feet of each other. Plums ripen in early to midsummer, usually in June or early July.



Happy Gardening!
