Overview

A reliable, self-fertile plum which produces a heavy crop of large, pale red fruit with golden-yellow flesh, which can be used for cooking, canning, bottling or just eating fresh. The single, white flowers are produced in spring and fruiting picking can start in late August. It is one of the most popular plum trees available but does need the fruit to be thinned to avoid biennial fruiting. It is difficult to predict accurately when these trees will start to produce fruit, but as a general rule the potted ones usually start to produce a little after 2 - 3 years, but need between 3 - 5 years before they yield a good crop.

Care guide

When planting, incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. As with all stone fruits, plums should be pruned in the summer to minimise the risk of silver leaf, a disease that enters through cuts. Prune in late summer when the tree is in active growth and able to repair itself ahead of leaf fall before shutting down in winter. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
