Product Description
Named in honour of the much-loved British queen, Victoria Plum is the UK's favourite plum variety by a mile – and deservedly so!
The delicious fruits are ready to pick each July and taste simply mouthwatering when eaten straight from the tree. With the remaining fruit you can make jams and preserves, and, of course, eat them stewed with custard!
Having been discovered in Alderton, Sussex, in 1844, and grown and enjoyed by gardeners every year since, Victoria really has stood the test of time – undoubtedly because of its sublime flavour and productivity.
Fruits are ready to pick each July and taste simply mouthwatering straight from the tree. A fully established tree of this self-fertile variety will produce up to 100lb of fruit in a bumper season!
Supplied as an 80-110cm tree on dwarfing rootstock in a 5L pot.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to give your plants a head start and establish more quickly.
Care Guide
- Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
- For the biggest, juiciest plums, thin the fruits in May by removing some of the smaller, immature fruits. Then in July, while the plums are still hard, remove any that are damaged or diseased or touching others.
- Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
- Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or over-ripe fruit on the ground.
- Prune trees in late in July when they're in full growth. For young trees, take back the new upright growth by about a third. For older, mature trees, remove any dead, diseased or dying branches and then prune the older branches hard to promote productivity, aiming for an overall goblet shape.

I feel conned. Had a a tree and raspberry plants in my basket that including free bulbs and 5 free raspberry canes. Entered a discount code and paid. On receipt of my plants they failed to deliver the free bulbs and 5 canes. On response to my email they said it's because I used a discount code They took off the free stuff. Their website and brochure show the canes as free so using a discount code should not have any impact on the sale of goods. I feel conned and advise others not to deal with a business that has this type of dubious deals.they offered to send me the canes if I paid a further 6.99 for postage but not the free bulbs. That really confirms they know they are wrong.Product:
Watch out, they con you..
