- Planting & Care
- Perfect for small gardens, patios, and balconies, these cordon trees offer a compact size with high yields.
- Features a single vertical trunk with short, fruiting side branches, making it incredibly space-efficient.
- Choose from top varieties like ‘Victoria’ for its tasty, sticky plums, ‘Opal’ for its reliable flavour, or ‘Jubilee’ for large fruit and excellent disease resistance.
- Your tree arrives already expertly shaped by our growers into the ideal cordon form.
- Species: Plum
- Features: Self-fertile
- Flowering Time: March, April, May
- Harvest Time: July, August
- Flower Colour: White or pink flowers appear in early spring.
- Position: Full sun
- Soil: Any moist, fertile, well-drained soil; prefers slightly acidic.
- Hardiness: Hardy, tolerating temperatures of -15°C and below.
- Habit: An upright cordon (columnar) tree with a single vertical trunk and short fruiting spurs.
- Pest & Disease Resistance: Good resistance. Robust, healthy, and usually resistant to problems like cracking. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed away with soapy water.
- Uses: Eating fresh, jam-making and baking.
- Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
- Spacing: Plant trees 60cm apart to allow for spreading.
- Watering: Water well throughout the first growing season. Established trees only require extra water during hot, dry spells.
- Feeding: Feed with a general, high-potassium fertiliser towards the end of winter.
- Pruning: Prune annually to maintain the cordon shape. In late August, cut back new shoots over 20cm long to one leaf beyond the basal cluster. During winter, thin out older, less productive spurs if they become too crowded.
