Botanical namePrunus domestica Mont Royal

Prunus domestica 'Mont Royal', also known as the 'Mont Royal' plum tree, is an iconic Quebec variety developed to adapt perfectly to harsh climatic conditions. It produces dark blue, oval, firm, and very sweet plums with yellow flesh, excellent for fresh consumption, canning, or drying. Its rounded and well-balanced habit, as well as its abundant white spring blossoms, add an interesting ornamental dimension to the garden while attracting pollinating insects. Self-fertile but more productive in the presence of another plum tree, 'Mont Royal' is easy to cultivate, with moderate growth and excellent cold hardiness. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny exposure. Reliable, hardy, and generous, the 'Mont Royal' plum tree is a preferred choice for Quebec gardeners looking for a productive and hassle-free fruit tree.
