Overview

A very early-season, dual-purpose dark-blue plum with yellowish-green flesh. ’Katinka’ is a heavy-cropping plum perfect for kick starting summer desserts and puddings as the free-stone fruits begin to ripen from mid-July. The fruits themselves are medium sized and firm with excellent eating qualities being sweet and juicy.

  • Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: April to May

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: Though partially self-fertile, this plum will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of plum. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 2, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 as well.
