Product Specifications
- Variant height_on_arrival: 120-150cm inc. roots
- Variant rootstock: SJA rootstock (grows up to 5m)
- Variant eventual_height: 5m
- Variant supplied_as: Bare Root
- Variant supplied_as_expanded: Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field and packed straight away. You can be sure they will be fresh when they arrive. In winter, you can store for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. Later in spring, when the temperature rises, you will want to plant within a few days of arrival.
- Variant watering: Water in well when planting - read on for ongoing care
- Variant watering_expanded: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only water in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container-grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavy and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
- Variant feeding: No need to feed
- Variant feeding_expanded: Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!
- Variant time_to_first_crop: 2 Years
- Variant time_to_first_crop_expanded: Although Victoria crops quicker than other varieties, you may only see your first few handfuls of plums 2 years after planting, so you should not expect substantial crops until the 4/5th year.
- Variant rootstock_expanded: Plum varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance, genetics, and the efficiency of propagation. Importantly, it also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable, specific height. SJA plum trees tend to only reach 4m tall, perfect for smaller spaces or those afraid of stepladders. They can also be trained to a smaller size by pruning or restricting the roots, by keeping in a smaller pot.
