Easily Grow Your Very Own Sugar Plums…

Whether you're a novice fruit grower, or you just want something sweet and easy, the Italian Plum Tree is one of the easiest fruits to grow.

With gorgeous spring flowers and deep-purple fruit all in a manageable, naturally dwarf tree, the Italian Plum is great for any yard… city, country and everything in between.

Ready to eat fresh right of the tree, easily made into jams and jellies, or frozen and dried, you'll find endless ways to enjoy your Italian Plums.

…the juice, when cooked, turns into a deep red that's well-loved by culinary experts for its rich flavor and intoxicating color.

Growing to only 10-15 ft., you can grow your Italian Plum virtually anywhere in your yard… dazzle an entryway with a pair, create a stunning showpiece in a small yard, or scatter an open landscape with as many as your heart desires.

Self-fertile, there's no need to plant a pollinator!

Winter-hardy… adaptable to most soil types… and disease resistant… the Italian Plum is great for beginners looking to grow their first fruit tree.

Here’s what you’re going to love about your Italian Plum tree:

#1 - Italian Plums are sweet and just a little tart, making them standout from just ordinary plums

#2 - You can grow an Italian Plum tree even if you've never grown fruit before. They're that easy!

#3 - Beautiful spring flowers and deep-purple fruit will add enchanting colors to your yard.

Some fruit trees are complicated and time-consuming, but not the Italian Plum!

Two Plums and two Apples

I planted my 3-4 feet tall Italian Plum tree 4 years ago and we finally got fruit this year. I love this tree so much that I just ordered another Italian Plum tree to partner her. She is the big one right in front of my house. Then this year I ordered two apples 🍎 🍏 and another Italian Plum so in the picture you see 3 in a row and those are my new trees. I love this company!

Great experience

This was a gift to my nephew, he absolutely loves it. He was very pleased how the plant was packaged and how healthy the plum tree was. I will definitely be buying more plants from fast growing trees. Thank you so much for the great experience to be able to buy from a company that it true to their word. 5 stars all the way!
