Does anybody buys from this site? Simply dishonest about this Mt. Royal plum tree... claiming she/he discovered it but it's my backyard tree! So much lying going on here! I wrote that it's my backyard with link to my blog but simply ignores. I might contact etsy.My tree

Explaining my tree.....lol.

I discovered this plum tree in a close by village, the old lady gave me the permission to bring some fruit back home. From St-Alexis-de-Montcalm, this is not the Mount-Royal plum, but it is close to it, probably one of its seedlings. We gave it that name(Petite Soeur=Young Sister) because it is so close to Mount-Royal. Can be canned, but is a true delight fresh. We think it is the hardiest of the European plums, and it is 100%self-fertile.

This variety have survived temperatures as low as -47° Celsius. Therefore, if it doesn't get colder than that in your area, they will be fine in your backyard!

A good home grown plum tree produces very sweet fruit that are far superior from what you can buy in a grocery store. The plum tree is cold hardy and therefore suitable for growing in northern Canada. Contrary to apples or pears, plums do not keep well and have to be eaten fast once picked. However, in order to bring them to the market, they are harvested before totally ripped. If they were to wait for full ripeness, they would end up with smashed plums on the grocery shelves. The problem is that when plums are harvested, they stop ripening, they can not continue to develop sugar. When harvested ripe, the plums are delicious, very sweet, juicy and melt in your mouth. Believe me, once you have tasted home grown plums, you won't be able to buy any plum from the grocery!
