Stanley European Plum Bareroot

History: Stanley plum was developed in Geneva, New York by Cornell University and released in 1962.

Why We Grow It: This freestone European plum has deep purple skin and meaty, golden flesh, the standard for prunes. It has a sweet juicy flavour and is great for fresh eating, canning, and drying. The tree produces heavy, reliable crops.
