Planting & Care

Hailed by growers as one of the best fruit trees you can grow, 'Victoria' is incredibly easy to cultivate and perfect for beginners.
Enjoy a heavy, reliable crop of large, purple-skinned plums with sweet, juicy yellow flesh every August.
A cherished heritage variety, popular since the Victorian era for its superb flavour.
Extremely versatile, the fruits are delicious eaten fresh from the tree and ideal for cooking, baking, and making jam.
Self-fertile, meaning it does not require a second tree to produce fruit, making it ideal for any garden.
Holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and is recognised as beneficial to pollinators.
Our trees are expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and promotes a healthier root system.

Species: Plum
Latin Name: Prunus domestica
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper, Heritage, Self fertile
Tasting Notes: Deliciously sweet and juicy with a slight hint of almond
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Flowering: March, April, May
Harvest: August
Position: Full sun
Soil: Prefers well drained, loamy soils
Hardiness: Hardy
Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance
Pruning: Some structural pruning required in winter

Planting: Can be planted year-round. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may struggle in poorly draining soil.
Pollination: This tree is self-fertile and will produce fruit on its own. However, yields can be improved if another plum tree from pollination groups 2, 3, or 4 is nearby.
Hardiness: Fully hardy, but very late frosts can damage the flowers, which may reduce the fruit yield for that year without causing lasting harm to the tree.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Pests & Diseases: Shows 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 bird scarers.
