- Latin Name: Prunus domestica
- Species: Plum / Gage
- Features: Easy to grow, Self-fertile
- Flavour: Sweet and juicy with a slightly milder taste, perfect for eating straight from the tree.
- Uses: Eating, Making Jams
- Flowering Time: April
- Harvest Time: August
- Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Doesn't require a pollination partner but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
- Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
- Habit: Bushy
- Eventual Height: 4m
- Eventual Spread: 4m
- Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Can be affected by aphids, caterpillars, fruit tree red spider mite, and plum moth.
- Planting Time: Can be planted any time of year.
- Position: Plant in full sun to partial shade.
- Soil: Suitable for any well-drained soil.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, the root system should be established enough to only require watering in dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
- Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
