Description

Methley is one of the earliest plums to ripen, delivering sweet, juicy fruit at a moment when European plums are only beginning to flower. Its value lies in timing as much as flavor, offering a true fresh plum experience weeks ahead of most other varieties.

Introduced to the United States in the early 20th century, Methley became widely planted for its dependable crops, early bearing, and exceptionally sweet fruit. The plums are small to medium in size with dark red skin and richly colored red flesh.

Flavor is notably sweet with very low acidity, best enjoyed when the fruit is fully soft-ripe. Methley is not a storage plum—its strength is immediacy, making it a favorite for eating straight from the tree at the very start of plum season.
