Plum Tree 'Rivers Early Prolific'
Prunus domestica 'Rivers Early Prolific'
- Eating / Cooking Plum.
- Dark blue fruits.
- Early fruiting.
- Partially Self Fertile.
- St Julien A rootstock.
Supplied as a bare root tree pruned to approximately 3-4 ft (90-120cm) tall including roots.
Available from APPROXIMATELY late November / early December 20211 or more £22.95GBP each. Group & quantity discounts
A high yielding, early fruiting, English plum, with good flavour, dark blue in colour, small fruits that are round. Was popular in Victorian times.
Dual purpose so can be used for cooking or eating, but some may find it a little sharp to eat straight from the tree.
- Season of use July.
- Partially Self Fertile - but pollination by another damson, gage or plum will maximise yield.
- Grown on St Julien A rootstock for an ultimate (un-pruned) height of 12 - 15 feet (3.65 - 4.6 metres) but can easily be kept at a height of 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres).
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
