Stanley plums are firm fruits with a sweet flavour. It is a self-fertile variety on a St. Julien A rootstock. Stanley fruit has orange-yellow flesh underneath violet-blue skins. The flowers usually appear fairly late, so they are less susceptible to frost damage. Stanely can reach heights of between 12′ – 15′ if left unpruned, but can be kept to a height of 6′ – 8′. Stanley is a good nectar source for bees and other wildlife. The picking time is September.
