How to grow Plum?

Also known as Prunus salicina, Japanese plums are quite round and require at least 140 to 170 days to mature. Most Japanese plums begin to bloom and mature earlier than any other type of plums.

Also known as Prunus domestica, this dry variety of plums boasts an oblong sort of shape and is often labeled as “fresh prunes” in the markets. It is also considered to be an “ancient domesticated species” and is widely cultivated in temperate regions. It is believed that this type of fruit species was first cultivated in Syria and then in Rome; during the Crusades, the Romans introduced European plums to the Western part of Europe. European plums can be found in a number of varieties, varying in their colors and flavors.
