PLUMS 
Next to the Peach, the Plum is the most important fruit for the South and Southwest. All of our plum trees are two-years 
old, budded and grown on heavy, high land, and have a fine root system, as well as well-branched, sturdy tops. Most of these 
trees will bear the year following planting. Our Plums are grown from buds taken from clean, healthy trees that we know are 
true to name, as they have been bearing for years. In the varieties shown below, you will find varieties for all parts of the 
country, from the Rio Grande valley to the Northern part of the United States. If you are not certain what varieties will 
do the best in your locality, leave the selction up to us, and we will send you trees that will bear fruit in your locality.
