Technical and agronomic details for successful cultivation:

• Botanical Name: Prunus domestica 'Stanley'.
• Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected to ensure varietal purity and superior quality.
• Plant Type: Deciduous, perennial fruit tree. Vigorous and productive, it represents a long-term investment for your home orchard.
• Crop Cycle: Multiannual. Once established, the plant produces abundant fruit for many years.
• Maximum Height: The tree can reach a height of 3-5 meters, depending on soil conditions, rootstock and pruning practices.
• Uses: Extremely versatile. The fruits are delicious eaten fresh, ideal for making jams, preserves, tarts, cakes, and other desserts. They are also excellent for drying, preserving their unique flavor.
• Organoleptic Characteristics: The fruits are large, elongated oval in shape, with a smooth, deep blue-purple skin covered with a characteristic bloom. The flesh is golden yellow, firm, juicy, with a sweet, slightly tart flavor and a very aromatic aroma. Its distinctive feature is the ease with which the flesh detaches from the stone (its "sticky" quality), making it perfect for consumption and processing.
• Resistance and Origin: Rustic and robust variety, originally from the United States, widely appreciated for its good resistance to common plum diseases and for its high tolerance to cold, adapting well to various temperate climates.
• Sowing Period: For best results, sowing Prunus seeds requires a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. Actual sowing is recommended after this period, between late winter and early spring (March-April).
• Harvest Period: The fruits typically ripen in late August. Ripening is fairly uniform, allowing for efficient harvesting in one or two stages.
• Optimal Germination Conditions: Seeds require a period of cold, moist stratification of approximately 90-120 days at temperatures between 2°C and 5°C. Then, sow in a well-drained substrate, kept constantly moist but not waterlogged.
• Soil Type: Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH. It is essential to avoid waterlogging.
• Recommended Exposure: Full sun is essential to ensure abundant flowering, optimal pollination and superior quality fruiting.
• Germination Times: Generally, after completing the stratification process, seeds will germinate within 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and soil temperature.
• Pot or Open Ground Cultivation: While young saplings can be started in pots or containers, for full development, robust growth, and abundant, long-lasting production, open ground cultivation is highly recommended.
• Quality Specifications: Our seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), carefully selected to ensure high germination and a solid foundation for your future orchard.
