| Botanical Name | Prunus salicina 'Methley' |
| Description | 'Methley' is one of the most reliable plum varieties for the Houston metro area. It is prized for its ultra-low chill requirement and its ability to produce heavy crops of sugary-sweet, deep red fruit. Because it is self-fertile and serves as an excellent pollinator for other plums, it is an ideal "starter" fruit tree for Willis gardeners. It is a vigorous grower with a beautiful spring bloom, thriving in our humid, southern climate. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 15-20 feet tall x 15 feet wide |
| Water | Requires regular, deep watering to establish. While it handles the Willis heat well, consistent moisture is necessary during fruit development to prevent fruit drop and ensure quality. Needs well-drained soil. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Chill Hours | 150 - 250 hours |
| Harvest Time | May to June |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
