The Methley Plum Tree is a favorite for good reason — it’s early to fruit, easy to grow, and loaded with juicy, sweet red-fleshed plums. Wrapped in glossy reddish-purple skin, these plums are perfect for fresh eating and ripen as early as June, giving you a head start on stone fruit season.
Flavor: Mildly sweet, juicy, and refreshing with a soft texture
Chill Hours: Needs just 250 or fewer, ideal for low-chill regions
USDA Zones: Thrives in zones 5–9 — from warm coastal gardens to colder inland climates
Cold Hardy: Exceptionally tough, even in harsh winters
Self-Fruitful: No second tree needed — it fruits on its own
Early & Extended Harvest: Long hang time allows for 4–5 weeks of picking
Vigorous & Productive: Sets fruit young and produces consistently
Whether you’re just starting your home orchard or adding to a well-loved collection, Methley brings flavor, dependability, and early summer satisfaction. It’s a plum that performs — year after year, bite after bite.
SHIPPING
Carriers and Services
We ship all orders via UPS, offering Standard, Expedited, and Overnight services. Shipping costs and delivery times depend on your location and the selected service.
Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
