The Tantalizing Trio Bundle includes Reine Claude Doree Plum, Mirabelle Plum, and Early Laxton, a grouping that is perfectly suited for creating traditional French recipes that evoke the charm of regional patisseries--at 40% off retail price. The small-sized plum fruits lend themselves beautifully to slow cooking and caramelization, enhancing the natural sugars and intensifying their flavor. They're commonly used in tarts, jams, preserves, and brandy, and their naturally high sugar content makes them ideal for baking and fermentation, and contributing depth and complexity to compotes and liqueurs. However, the fresh fruit straight from the tree is a seasonal delicacy in itself and each year, we delight in sharing our copious harvest with foodie friends and chefs at local restaurants. Additionally, if you order more trees and meet one of our quantity discount thresholds, you can save an additional 10-20%!

Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .
Pruning tip
Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
Shipping information
Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees, vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.
