Plum Tree Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum Trees to bear fruit?
Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems that are already three to four years old, so you’ll enjoy fruit sooner than you would with younger trees! Expect young Plum trees to begin fruiting usually by the 2nd to 4th year after they establish in your landscape.
How big do Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum trees grow? How fast do Plum trees grow?
The Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum tree can grow to a mature height of 12-18 feet and a mature width of 12-15 feet.
Once your Plum tree has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 13-24 inches of new growth per growing season. If your plants are growing less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.
Where is the best place to plant a Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum Trees?
Plum trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more. Provide good air circulation and moderate, yet consistent water in well-drained, fertile soil.
Do You Need 2 Plum Trees to Produce Fruit?
The Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum trees are not self fertile, so planting more than one Plum tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time!
No room? Look into High-Density Planting techniques, or choose a semi-dwarf or dwarf fruit tree.
When Should Sweet Treat Pluerry™ Interspecific Plum Tree be Planted?
Bareroot Plum trees can be planted in spring when they are available in your area. Container-grown Plum trees can be very successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season. Check for first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.
- Plant bareroot Plum trees in the early spring.
