Description

The Victoria Plum tree is a must have for any gardener whether a beginner or expert. With delicious fruits and pretty blossoms it is easy to grow and will provide you with medium, egg-shaped sweet and juicy plums during August. Use the plums in desserts and jams or eat raw from the tree.

Awarded the RHS Award for Garden Merit in 1993 which was then reconfirmed in 2013, the Victoria Plum tree is the most well-known and popular English plum variety. They are self-fertile and a great pollination partner for many plum varieties.

These trees have been grown and pruned to keep a compact shape, suitable for small spaces or grown in containers. Each winter, when the plant is dormant prune out any dead, diseased or damaged branches to a healthy bud. Cut back this seasons growth by 1/4 to an outward facing healthy bud. You can remove the tallest central branch, 'The Leader' to encourage side shoots and keep the height of the tree short

The plums change colour as they ripen going from orange/red which are perfect for cooking, to red/purple which are perfect for eating.

During summer delivery, our plants may exhibit signs of nature's hustle and bustle on their leaves. Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.

We try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.
