I am a totally satisfied customer. Who was amazed by the carefully packed tree I'd ordered only days before. Which arrived it perfect condition.
I throughly approve of the paperless policy and the lack of acres of plastic in the packaging. I will now be a return customer and recommend to all my friends

Probably the best known of all Plums - and a firm favourite of the amateur gardener due to its reliable and heavy cropping.
Purple red fruits are often tinged yellow. The golden-yellow flesh within is sweet and juicy. Excellent for eating, bottling or jams and preserves.
- Season of use late August.
- First introduced 1840, Sussex, UK.
- 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!
