Two Plum Varieties on One Tree
Why 2-in-1 Plum Surprise Trees?
Two different types of juicy plums from just one tree? It seems almost too good to be true, but with our 2-in-1 Plum Surprise, you'll have it all. And you won’t need a lot of yard space to enjoy a large harvest year after year. And the fun part: You won’t know the two types of plums that were grafted onto your tree until it produces fruit - so your first harvest will be a sweet surprise!
Plus, you'll get fruit the very first season. Your 2-in-1 Plum Tree is hand-grafted, which means the top of a mature tree is spliced onto the rootstock of a young new tree. This process safely speeds up the growth of the tree, so you get a mature harvest despite the fact that there's virtually no upkeep.
No guesswork, no hassle, no fuss. Your 2-in-1 Plum is resilient and thrives in most conditions. While areas in the south are ideal for plums, your tree is bred to be quite hardy in colder climates too.

Pollination Info
2-in-1 Plum Surprise Tree Pollination
2-in-1 Plum Surprise Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional 2-in-1 Plum Surprise Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in a location with full sun exposure (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil.
Dig your hole three times as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place your tree, backfill the soil, and tamp down to eliminate air pockets. Once the hole has been completely filled, add a layer of organic mulch around the tree to help conserve water.
2. Watering: Water your tree twice a week for the first growing season to help promote growth. Deep watering encourages the roots to extend more deeply into the soil, which in turn makes the tree more drought resistant.
If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 3 inches down for dryness.
3. Fertilizing: Young trees that are three years or younger will benefit from about a half cup of balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer formula applied once in around mid-April and again in early June. More established plum trees will require one annual application of the same balanced formula mid-April.
4. Pruning: Give your tree a full year to get situated in its new home before attempting to prune. Young plum trees are typically pruned in the late winter to early spring seasons before buds begin to break. More established plum trees will benefit from a midsummer pruning.
5. Harvesting: The best-tasting plums are left on the tree to fully ripen before picking. Apply gentle pressure with your fingers to determine ripeness. They should easily come off of the tree when ripened using a slight twist.
