PLANTING PLUM TREES FOR DEER<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The varieties of grafted plum trees we sell for deer will blossom together, giving you excellent pollination. Plant plums in moist, well-drained soil with a soil ph between 5.5 \u2013 7.2 with adequate nutrient levels for optimal growth. The above soil conditions will provide the most growth and fruit production. Plums are above a pear tree for tolerating acidic soils with poor fertility and thriving. Bluebyrd plum requires at least 6 hours of sunlight for fruit production and growth. Space trees 20′ apart and use cages of at least 5′ to protect your trees. Use protection on the base of your tree, such as an aluminum window screen wrapped around it to protect it from smaller animals. This will ensure your deer eat your fruit in a few years, not your trees this year.<\/p>\n

These plum trees for deer are grafted onto Myro Plum. This is a “real root” grown from seed and will mature to a standard height of 20′ and excel with its vigor.<\/p>\n
