Planting & Care

An early Japanese variety with rich, juicy red flesh and a sweet taste reminiscent of pear drops.
A versatile plum, perfect for eating fresh from the tree, cooking, or making preserves.
Enjoy an abundant harvest of fruit from mid-July to August.
A reliable and productive self-pollinating variety, with early blooms that are resistant to frost.
Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a robust, well-shaped structure.

Species: Plum
Features: Self fertile. Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Flower Colour: Purple
Harvest Time: June, July, August
Tasting Notes: Very sweet with a flavour like pear drops.
Uses: Eating, cooking, preserves
Position: Full sun, Partial shade
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil. Can tolerate clay soil if drainage is improved.
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts which can damage flowers and reduce fruit yield for that year.
Eventual Spread: Approx 4m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent resistance to main plum diseases including cracking.

Planting Time: January, February, March, November, December
Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Afterwards, only water bare root trees during dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding required; plum trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil.
Pruning: Perform some structural pruning each winter to maintain a productive shape and improve yields.
Pest & Disease Care: Watch for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed off with soapy water. Protect fruit from birds using netting or scarers.
