Fruitful and dependable, 'Stanley' is as decorative as it is productive, with a dense, rounded form and an extremely profuse, fragrant show of single white flowers in early May. The whole tree may be completely obscured by this bloom that lasts up to 2 weeks with countless small fruit following soon after the bloom passes. This fruit grows and finally matures in September, producing a tasty prune-type plum that has purple skin, yellow flesh and a high sugar content that is great fresh or dried. 'Stanley' is self-fruitful so it is self-sufficient in producing its huge crop of tasty plums.
Thrives in full sun. Feed yearly with an organic fertilizer. Prune to train and shape for good air flow in winter by removing crossing branches or those that are too close to each other.
