Planting & Care

A cherished heritage variety, producing large, purple-skinned plums with sweet, juicy yellow flesh.
Hailed by growers as "possibly the best fruit tree ever" for its reliability and heavy crops.
Extremely easy to grow, making it a perfect choice for novice gardeners.
Versatile in the kitchen, delicious eaten fresh from the tree and superb for jams, tarts, and crumbles.
Self-fertile, meaning it does not require a second tree to produce fruit.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and recognised as beneficial for pollinators.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
Trees are expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.
Available on a range of rootstocks to suit any garden size, including compact options for small spaces.

Latin Name: Prunus domestica
Species: Plum
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 Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: August
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Prefers well drained, loamy soils
Hardiness: Hardy
Eventual Spread: 4m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent Pest and Disease Resistance
Pruning: Some structural pruning required

Planting: Can be planted at any time of year. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, loamy soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may struggle in poorly draining soil.
Pollination: This variety is self-fertile and will produce fruit without a pollination partner. However, yields can be improved if another plum tree from a similar pollination group is nearby.
Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK. Flowers may require some protection from very late frosts, as this can damage them and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Pruning: Prune in winter to maintain a productive shape, which helps improve yields and prevent disease. Your tree will arrive pre-pruned to encourage a good framework.
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 the ripening fruit from birds using netting or bird scarers.
