- 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.

- 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.
