Plums
The plums we sell are all tried and tested for cold hardiness in northern Vermont. Nearly all of the cultivars listed have native plum genetics that lend to their tough constitution. Although these are smaller than their grocery store counterparts (less than a golfball diameter), they are every bit as tasty. They can generally take a poorer soil, produce a lot of fruit, and make a great visual and olfactory banquet.
Available as potted trees in $20 to $45 sizes.
