Morris Plum Tree

The Morris Plum Tree grows some of the most beautiful plums around. The smooth, glossy deep-red skin just says, ‘eat me’, and the dark red flesh has the perfect texture and a sweet tanginess everyone loves. This variety was developed to store well for many weeks in the fridge, and for the disease resistance of the tree. Grow it in all warm zones, where it will thrive and be giving you big harvests within just a few years.

• Beautiful dark red glossy plums with red-purple flesh
• Ready for harvest in early June
• Perfect choice for warm, not hot zones
• Stores in the fridge for 6 to 10 weeks
• Heavy crops within just a few years

Full sun will help your Morris Plum Tree grow a bumper crop, and this rugged tree will grow in almost all well-drained soils, including alkaline and sandy ones. It has good disease resistance and pests are rarely serious. Some simple summer pruning and trimming will help it give the heaviest crop, but little attention is needed for top results. Plant with a suitable pollinator like ‘Burbank’ or ‘Bruce’.
