'Victoria' is incredibly easy to grow and bears an enormous crop of fruit every year. The plums, themselves, are always plump, sweet and perfect for jams. They very rarely get pest problems and have a lengthy harvest period.
A heritage variety dating back to the Victorian era - hence the name - it's been loved ever since for its extra large purple fruit with sweet, juicy yellow flesh. A dual-purpose plum, the fruits are lovely eaten fresh but great for cooking, too. The perfect excuse to make plum frangipane, tarts and crumbles.
The ideal fruit tree for beginners, 'Victoria' is happy in most well-drained soils, preferring a sunny site (if possible). Ready to harvest from late August, this variety is self-fertile (meaning that it will crop nicely without the need for a pollination partner).
Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit (as well as being Plants for Pollinators certified thanks to its appeal to pollinating insects).
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
All of our fruit trees are between 18 & 36 months old and will be 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 from becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
Rootstocks available:
SJA Rootstock: Max size H4m x W4m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
Pixy Rootstock: Max size H3m x W3m
Cordon Trained: Max size H2m x W1m This tree has been pruned and trained to create a cordon shape, which will result in a narrow upright tree, with only short side branches. This is perfect for smaller spaces, and will still produce a good amount of fruitMORE
Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
