A standout German plum variety with rich, damson-like qualities.
Produces beautiful white blossoms in spring, followed by delicious bluish plums in autumn.
Perfect for culinary enthusiasts, its high pectin content is excellent for jams, stewing, and baking.
Enjoy the tart flavour straight from the tree for a refreshing treat.
Certified by RHS as a Plant for Pollinators, its blossoms are a magnet for bees.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and healthy growth.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Species: Plum
Features: Self-fertile, Perfect for pollinators
Flowering Time: February - March
Flower Colour: Charming white flowers appear in spring
Harvest Time: September - October
Position: Full sun
Location: Ideal for beds & borders
Habit: Grows with a dense framework of branches to give a naturally bushy shape.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 2-4m.
Hardiness: H5 - Hardy, can tolerate temperatures down to -15°C.
Soil Type: Grows in any well-drained soil; fertile, slightly acidic soils are best.
Uses: Baking and cooking

Spacing: Plant 2m apart to allow for spreading. Ideal for the centre of a lawn or a spacious garden bed.
Watering: Water well during its first couple of growing seasons to help it establish. Once established, additional watering is typically only needed in hot, dry spells.
Feeding: Feed at the end of winter with a fertiliser high in potassium. Container-grown trees benefit from a fortnightly liquid feed throughout the growing season.
Pruning: Prune at the start of spring. Aim to create an open, goblet-like framework of branches to improve airflow.
Pest & Disease: Generally good resistance. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed away with soapy water. Use netting to protect fruit from birds. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning for good airflow and removing rotting organic matter nearby.
