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.

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.
