In general, plums are considered one of the most dependable fruit producers in Colorado and produce a crop almost every year. Several European varieties that are reliable in our area include: Stanley, Green Gage and Blue Damson(an early-bearing, small-fruited plum). Waneta is a late summer Japanese-American variety with large, red plums. Sapalta is considered one of the best to eat fresh from the tree but is also excellent for canning. In most cases, two varieties of plums are needed to cross-pollinate each other. For more information on growing plums in Colorado please see the PlantTalk script Plums.
