Fruit

• Crops in : Late July to mid September

Description

One of the UK's favourite fruit trees, easy to grow and delicious to eat. As many supermarkets are reluctant to offer the best tasting varieties due to thin skins and bruising, growing your own is the best way to enjoy the real flavour that this fruit can offer. Delicious eaten fresh, as preserves or stewed and made into a plum crumble served with custard or ice cream!

Collection comprises 1 tree each of

Plum Opal

Plum Seneca

Plum Victoria

Planted together they will give you a full season's harvest, will aid pollination and increase yields between each other.

Trees supplied are grafted on a 'St Julian A Rootstock' which is semi-dwarfing, which will produce for you medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8 foot) trees.

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