Planting & Care

An English heritage variety from the 1830s, featuring small blue-purple fruits on elegant, semi-weeping branches.
Versatile and delicious plums, perfect for both cooking and eating fresh from the tree.
Produces abundant yields, with fruit ready to pick from July onwards.
A dependable and easy-to-grow variety that is self-fertile.
Awarded the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' mark, making it a great choice for wildlife.
More shade-tolerant than most other plum varieties, offering greater planting flexibility.
Professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.

Species: Plum
Features: Self fertile
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: June, July, August
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Eventual Spread: Approx 4m
Habit: Bushy, slightly weeping
Hardiness: Hardy
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Pruning: Some structural pruning required
Tasting Notes: Juicy, gets sweeter the longer it is left to ripen on the tree

Planting Time: Plant during the dormant season, from November to March.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. If you have heavy clay, improve drainage by mixing in horticultural grit when planting.
Hardiness: Fully hardy, but protect blossoms from very late frosts as this can damage flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, which can improve yields and help prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance to common plum diseases. Keep an eye out for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed away with soapy water. Protect ripening fruit from birds using netting or scarers.
Pollination: Self-fertile, so a pollination partner is not required. However, crops may be improved if another plum tree is nearby.
