Key Features

The Mariposa plum tree in a 3-gal container is 2-3 feet tall, features glossy green leaves, produces fragrant white flowers about 1 inch in size, and bears sweet, juicy purple plums.

Special considerations

The Mariposa plum tree requires well-drained soil, regular watering, and full sun exposure, and it benefits from special care during extreme weather conditions.

Growing and Care Instructions

Plant mariposa plum trees in well-draining soil, water regularly but avoid overwatering, provide full sun (6-8 hours), tolerate temperatures down to 20°F, fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer, and prune annually to shape and remove dead wood.

  • Fertilizing

    Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer.

  • Watering

    Water regularly, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun to partial shade.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
