Plum

Plum trees produce hardy fruits that can be picked from early July to late September. For fresh eating and various culinary uses, they come in all shades of red, blue, purple and yellow. Large, round fruits are firm, sweet and refreshing. These delicious fruits can be used for cooking into lovely pies, jams and even tasty gins!

We grow our plums on a range of rootstocks, from VVA-1 to Brompton so there is one for every garden, even if your space is smaller. However, we do not recommend growing plums in pots. Some varieties are self fertile and therefore do not need a pollinating partner.

They include varieties mostly derived from Prunus domestica, the European plum and the occasional Prunus salicina, the Japanese plum. Spring is a good time to prune plum trees just after they have flowered which will encourage new, fresh growth.
