Planting & Care

Hailed by growers as one of the best fruit trees, 'Victoria' is incredibly easy to grow and reliable.
Produces a heavy 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 and versatility.
Perfect for eating fresh from the tree, baking in tarts and crumbles, or making delicious jam.
Self-fertile, meaning you don't need another tree for it to produce an abundance of fruit.
Holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and is recognised as beneficial for pollinators.

Species: Plum (Prunus domestica)
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper, Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: August
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Prefers well drained, loamy soils
Hardiness: Hardy
Eventual Spread: Up to 4m (depending on rootstock)
Pruning: Requires some structural pruning in winter
Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Tasting Notes: Deliciously sweet and juicy with a slight hint of almond

Planting: Can be planted at any time of year.
Position: Thrives in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but struggles in poorly draining soil.
Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK. Late frosts can damage blossom, which may reduce the fruit yield for that year but will not harm the tree.
Pollination: Self-fertile, so a pollination partner is not required. However, a nearby plum tree from a similar pollination group can improve the crop size.
Pruning: Prune annually in winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: 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 with netting or bird scarers.
