Read detailed description :

The 'Stanley' is fertile and produces delicious large oval plums at the end of August/early September. They are dark purple with a waxy skin. Amber-yellow and firm flesh, soft, very sweet and quite juicy. Separates easily from the stone. Bunches of white flowers in April, often escaping from frosts. Vigorous, rapidly forms a lovely spreading tree
