A really productive tree which produces an abundance of large, plump damsons of the most amazing colour. A real showstopper when in fruit. Sweet, rich plums are usually used in cooking but can be eaten fresh when fully ripe RHS Award winner Late Harvest - September Max size H4m x W4m - SJA Rootstock Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Self fertile - Pollination Group 3 Requires pollination by another plum, damson, mirabelle or gage tree within a mile's radius. They need to flower at the same time. Plums in the same pollination group, or one either side, can pollinate each other.
