Overview

This Asian variety blesses gardeners with sweetly sublime fruit by mid-July, much earlier than other domestic plums. The medium-sized reddish-purple plums deliver some of the richest, ‘sweetshop’-like flavour with delightfully low acidity. 'Beauty' yields prolific crops of amber-fleshed fruit distinguished by its wonderfully juicy sweetness and unique taste. This heirloom's self-fertile nature and bountiful harvests make it easy for beginners and keen fruit growers to enjoy.

Care guide

When planting your plum tree, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Protect from cold, drying winds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet’ shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Features

Pollination information: This plum is self-fertile and does not require a pollinating partner in order to set fruit. This variety of Asian plum is unsuitable as a pollination partner for other plums and gages.
