Planting & Care

Juicy, tart fruits are perfect for cooking, creating rich sauces and delicious preserves.
Enjoy them fresh from the tree for a tangy, sweet flavour burst.
Produces exceptionally large, plump damsons that look spectacular on the tree.
Harvest your bountiful crop in September.
A robust and healthy tree with strong disease resistance.
Reaches a manageable size of H4m x W4m, ideal for most gardens.
Self-fertile, so you're guaranteed a good crop without a pollination partner.

Latin Name: Prunus domestica
Species: Plum
Features: Disease resistant, Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering: April, May
Harvest: September
Position: Full sun
Soil: Prefers well drained, loamy soils
Hardiness: Hardy
Eventual Spread: 4m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent
Pruning: Some structural pruning required
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Tasting Notes: Juicy and acidic, cooks down nicely into a rich tasting puree

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Pollination: As a self-fertile variety (Pollination Group 3), it doesn't require a pollination partner. However, crops may be improved if a compatible tree is nearby. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own (e.g. Group 3 can pollinate 2, 3, and 4).
Hardiness: May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Soil Care: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit as well. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Pest & Disease Care: Shows excellent resistance to the main pests and diseases for plum trees, including cracking. Keep an eye out for aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed away with soapy water.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and help prevent disease.
