As summer envelopes your garden, 'Methley' rewards your senses with an ample harvest of enchantingly sweet, deep purple plums - a fruit that tastes just as delightful eaten fresh as it does incorporated in deliciously homemade jellies and desserts.

With the Japanese Plum, you enjoy the perfect blend of ornamental charm and fruitful bounty, all in one captivating package.
