Supplied as a containerised tree pruned to approximately 3-4 ft (90-120cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.An old and trusted variety that produces purple blue fruits that darken and sweeten as the mature.
Picked young, the blue skinned fruits will be found to be quite acidic - making them one of the best cooking plums (or perfect for those who like a bit more bite to their plums!).
If left on the tree the skins will darken down to near black in colour and the flesh will become much sweeter - making it lovely late season eating plum.
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!
