» There are two distinct types of Plums—the Oriental and European. The Oriental are generally quite juicy 
N and tender, best suited to serving raw, fresh from the tree. The European are the firmer-types, used for 
a canning, preserving, butters, drying, etc. The Prune family belongs to the European type Plums. For best 
results, we recommend planting two or more varieties, providing cross pollination.
