Planting Instructions

 

Plum seeds must be cold-stratified before planting. Place the seeds on a damp paper towel, fold up the towel, and place it in a plastic bag. Do not seal the bag; this allows for air-flow. Place the bag in the refrigerator and leave it there for at least 3 months. Check them every couple of weeks and re-dampen the paper towel (carefully), as needed.

In spring, take out the seeds and soak them in warm water for 12-24 hours. This enhances germination success. Transplant the seeds in a pots filled with a rich, peat potting mix. Cover the pot with a plastic bag to keep moisture in. Water daily so the soil is moist but not drenched. Keep the soil warm, 70F or above, and the seeds will sprout in around 3 weeks. Once the seedlings sprout, remove the plastic bag.

Let the seedlings grow in the pot in a sunny location all summer and fall. Continue to water them so the soil is moist but not soggy. They are fragile and need to develop a root system.

In the late-fall, move the container to a protected overwintering location, like a garage or shed. They don't need much sun or care, just a safe place to sit. Do not let them dry out – they'll need watering every few weeks to stay healthy. Do not let the soil get soggy, though, or the roots will rot. Be aware of mice or small rodents in the area who may try to nibble on the seedlings as a winter snack.

In the spring, after all danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to their permanent outdoor location. Place wire fencing around them to protect from rodents and wildlife. Do a springtime fertilizer application and water regularly.

Correctly targeted by Amazon's suggestion
I didn't know my dogs were crackheads until they tried this. They absolutely loved them. Even my 16 year old RUNS to get them. Definitely 5+ stars.

Tasty treat but better as a quick reward than a long chew
I gave these to my German Shepherd and Lab as occasional treats. They were immediately interested and finished them quickly, which usually means they’re both appealing and easy to eat. These aren’t long-lasting chews—they’re more of a quick snack. For larger dogs especially, they won’t keep them occupied for very long. Compared to tougher chew options, these are better suited for training rewards or short treat sessions. I’d rate them 4 stars. Good flavor appeal, but not designed for extended chewing. Tip: Use them as a reward treat rather than something to keep your dog busy.

Chicken and Peanut Butter - Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together... to my Dog
My dog is a fairly selective eater, but she loves chicken jerky and peanut butter, so I thought I'd give these a try. She took to them right away, and can finish one off in about 3 minutes. They have a distinct smell of peanut butter (despite peanut butter only being 3% of the composition). Each chicken jerky-wrapped peanut butter biscuit is about 4.5" long, and they arrive packaged in a resealable bag. Made in China; my bag was printed with a 'BEST BEFORE' date over a year from the date I received them. Note that these treats have been irradiated to kill harmful bacteria and parasites.
