The Stanley is a classic European plum variety known for its large, oval, deep purple fruit with sweet, golden-yellow flesh that’s perfect for fresh eating, drying into prunes, or baking. Its rich, sugary flavor and firm texture make it a longtime favorite for preserves and desserts.
A reliable and productive tree, Stanley thrives in zones 5–8 and is one of the most cold-hardy and disease-resistant plum varieties. It produces fragrant white blossoms in spring and a late-summer harvest with heavy yields. The tree is partially self-pollinating, but planting another European plum nearby can improve fruit set.
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil for best performance. A proven orchard standard, Stanley delivers beautiful blossoms, dependable crops, and delicious fruit year after year.
