Fruits need to be spaced one per 5-6 inches to get good size and to avoid breakage of branches from weight. Methley is good for southern gardens. Needed chill hours is less than 150. May need extra water in drought situations. Fruit is dark purple with light bloom on skin. Sweet and juicy red flesh. Makes wonderful jelly or jam without pectin. Good eating straight from tree. Harvest is in late May - early June. Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 bushels per mature tree. Fruit drop may happen in high winds. Prune only to remove crossed or weak branches. Bees, wasps, and birds are attracted to broken fruit, clean up drops frequently. Few bug or disease problems. May be used as pollinator for Burbank, Mariposa, and Satsuma varieties.
