A hardy, self-fertile pear with exceptionally good flavor.
Castleton / Obilinaja Plum on Myrobalan (Spring 2023)

Two plum varieties budded on a single tree.
This tree has two different plum varieties grafted onto it. Castleton is a European plum and Obilinaja is a Japanese plum. These two varieties will not pollinate each other and you will need another Japanese plum tree to have this tree bear Obilinaja plums. Castleton is partially self-fertial but will produce better with another European plum tree.
