Planting & Care

Hailed by our head grower as "the best plum, possibly the best fruit tree ever" for its reliability and flavour.
A cherished heritage variety producing large, purple-skinned plums with exceptionally sweet and juicy yellow flesh.
Extremely versatile, perfect for eating straight from the tree or for cooking in jams, crumbles, tarts, and plum frangipane.
Very easy to grow and a heavy cropper, making it an ideal choice for novice gardeners seeking rewarding results.
Self-fertile, so you don't need another plum tree for it to produce a generous crop of fruit.
Recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit and loved by pollinators.
Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape for better fruit production.
Available on a choice of rootstocks to control the final size, including dwarf options for smaller gardens and cordon training for tight spaces.
