  • Crops in : Late August

Description

A self fertile variety of medium size and vigour, producing large juicy fruits ready to pick in late August. A heavy cropper with easy to harvest and prepare large fruits, ideal for making delicious flavoured preserves.

Grafted on a 'St Julian' rootstock which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8 foot) tree.

Note: The main cause of maggot damage in plums, gages and damsons is the caterpillar of the Plum Fruit Moth. To help control this troublesome pest see Fruit Moth Traps..
