Grown on the Myrobalan rootstock, this group is of medium vigor growing in general to about 16 feet, allow 16 feet spacing. We do not have dwarf plums at this time.

DAMSON (Shropshire)       Extremely old English plum from Shropshire notable for its exquisitely flavored, uniquely flavored jams, jellies and other preserves. Small greenish blue round fruit with yellow flesh. The tree is very upright and will benefit from branch spreading in its youth. Somewhat self fruitful but will be more productive and reliable with a pollinator. Zone 5 or protected microclimates in 4. Harvest early September.  

 MOUNT ROYAL          The hardiest of the European plums, does well in zone 4. Medium sized round blue fruit, excellent for fresh eating, also makes preserves similar to Damson. The tree is naturally semi dwarf and sets its branches naturally  horizontal- very little training with this one. Harvest late August. From the Montreal area of unknown origin.

 STANLEY   Large oval egg shaped purple plum, very meaty, freestone. Somewhat self fruitful but will benefit from a pollinator from this list. Harvest September zone 5. From Geneva New York, 1926, a cross of Agen x Grand Duke.
