Castleton™ comes out of the Cornell University research program. Since it's release in 1993, it has become known as the sweetest of the early ripening Europeans. This mid-size, high-quality, deep blue plum will colour up well before maturity, so your best bet is to check them by biting into one to determine when to pick. Castleton™ is considered a dual-purpose variety – a fine early dessert plum, but also excellent for processing or drying. The tree is a somewhat slow grower, with a spreading pattern, but is a consistent heavy producer.

What is Orchard Grade?
An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.
What is a 2 year old tree?
A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.
All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.
A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).

Well packaging. The plant already shoots out many leaves just within a month planting to the ground
