Plum trees thrive in well-draining soil and require regular watering, especially during dry periods. They should be pruned yearly to maintain shape and clear dead or diseased branches. In early spring, they should be fertilized to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.
Plum fruit trees thrive in full sun, needing 7 to 10 hours of sunlight daily. Adequate light is essential for fruit development, ensuring a healthy yield and preventing diseases. Partial shade can reduce fruit production and quality.

About this plant
The Plum Fruit Tree (Prunus domestica) is the fruit tree you didn’t know you needed in your orchard until now. Dark purple fruits shine, surrounded by lush green leaves. Plum trees are perfect for home fruit orchards, offering beauty and bounty. In spring, they burst into a spectacular display of delicate blossoms, filling the air with charm and signaling the season of renewal.
As they mature, these trees produce juicy, flavorful plums that can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or made into jams and desserts. Their lush green foliage provides shade and enhances the landscape all season long. Plum trees are hardy, resilient, and rewarding to grow, bringing joy to gardeners and wildlife. With their ornamental appeal and delicious harvests, they truly enrich any outdoor space.

The Plum Fruit Tree is a superb fruit tree to add to your home or landscape.
The flowers bloom in spring and are pale pink to white, making for a pretty display. Plant this tree in your orchard or use it to line your border for easy-to-reach fruits. It is excellent as a focal point for a yard. Plant in a location with full sun. “Full sun” means a location that gets at least 6 – 8 hours of sunlight per day.
These trees are not self-pollinating, so buy and plant two trees to ensure that you have fruit set. Planting two trees simultaneously ensures both trees are at the same level of maturity to bear fruit.
Prune branches in late winter. Look for diseased, damaged, or rubbing bark that will create fungal or bacterial issues. Thinning out the canopy is a great way to ensure plenty of sunlight goes down into the tree and dries it out in the morning or after storms. You may have more fungal issues with your leaves, bark, or fruit without this. As your tree matures, it is vital to keep your branches fewer as fruits will load the branches and create significant weight.
Apply a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in early spring for optimal health and vigor. The nectar-rich flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, and the fruits attract plenty of wildlife to your yard, including squirrels and other mammals.
The Plum Fruit Tree will take up to five years to start producing fruit, so don’t wait any longer to plant your new orchard! Order all your fruit trees from TN Nursery.
