A very reliable, heavy cropping variety producing an abundance of red-flushed, plump yellow plums Some say the sweet, fruity flavour is superior to Victoria Delightful eaten fresh but their soft flesh also makes the best plum jams An early season variety, ready to harvest in July RHS Award Winner SJA Rootstock: Max size H4m x W4m - Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Cordon Trained:Max size H2m x W1m Pruned and trained to create a cordon shape, so upright with short side branches. Very productive use of spaceMORE Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch. Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Show more
