- 'Victoria' plum is head tree grower John's top recommendation. Without hesitation. "It's by far the best plum, if not fruit tree... ever". He says, "It's just so easy to grow and bears an enormous load of fruit, every year. The plums themselves are always plump, sweet and perfect for making jams with. You very rarely get pest problems and you have a decent length harvest period to look forward to."
- A heritage variety dating back to the Victorian era - it's been loved ever since for its extra large purple fruit with sweet, juicy yellow flesh.
- Dual-purpose plum: lovely eaten fresh but great for cooking too - the perfect excuse to make plum frangipane, tarts and crumble
- Super easy to grow and a prolifically heavy cropper - ideal for beginners
- Happy in most well-draining soils and prefers a sunny site
- Midseason harvest - August
- Self-fertile - will produce good crops without pollination
- Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit and Plants for Pollinators status for its benefits to bees
