About the Castleton :
The Castleton prune fruit is of medium size that
rarely split. It is one of the best eating prune
available. This prune tree is very productive and is
relatively small. The prunes are early and are a
high quality blue plum, ripening a month before
Empress.
Dual purpose -- a fine early dessert plum, but
also an excellent processing variety. Castleton
prunes are freestone; pit does not shatter or split.

Please note:
Your region's climate determines the type of fruit
trees and fruit that will grow successfully. The
climate must be compatible with the growing
requirements of the selected fruit tree. Some
varieties will even prevail in the harsher Upper
Midwest climates. Most fruit trees require between
130 - 150 frost-free days. If you are unsure as to
how many frost-free days your climate has, please
contact your local county extension office |
