Prunus domestica 'Stanley'
Prunus domestica ‘Stanley’, known as the 'Stanley' plum tree, is a very popular European variety in Quebec, prized for its consistent productivity and its elongated dark blue plums with sweet, firm, and juicy yellow flesh. Recognized for its culinary versatility, this plum is perfect for fresh consumption, drying (prune type), as well as preserves and jams. Its harmonious rounded habit, moderate growth, and white spring blossoms attracting pollinators make it an ideal choice for residential orchards and food gardens. 'Stanley' is self-fertile, making it easy to grow even alone, while still benefiting from better harvests with a cross-pollinator. It thrives in well-drained, rich soil and full sun exposure. The 'Stanley' plum tree is appealing for its hardiness, reliability, and the delicious quality of its fruit.
