Plum Varieties

Introduction
The two plum varieties best adapted to most of the Hill Country are Morris and Ozark Premier.  These two varieties have approximately 800 hour chilling requirements, and serve as reliable pollinators for each other.  Morris usually ripens in mid-June and Ozark Premier ripens in late June.  Both varieties
produce large, high quality fruit.

Methley is grown both commercially and is a common backyard variety.  It is unusual in two regards; it is relatively low chilling (~450 hours), but is grown successfully as far north as Dallas.  Its prolonged and delayed flowering habit allows for successful fruit production even in areas north of its zone of
adaptation.  Methly is also self-fruitful, that is it will produce a full crop of fruit even without other varieties to pollinate it.
