PLUMS 
Plums are one of the easiest fruits to grow and early to bear. 
They are hardy in all but very severe climates and thrive best 
on medium heavy soil with good drainage. Planting at least 
two or more varieties will take care of such varieties that are 
deficient in fertile pollen. Varieties listed are those that have 
proven best for the West. Plant 18 to 25 feet apart.
