Our Victoria Plum Tree Gift is an extremely popular choice for our customers. Not only are Victoria plums one of the nation's favourites but the tree is a wonderful addition to have in the garden.
For medium and large sized gardens, the full-sized tree will be a perfect fit. It will happily thrive, planted in a sheltered, sunny location in an area with well-draining soil.
If your garden is slightly smaller and you’re more interested in growing a fruit tree in a large container then make sure to check out our smaller Patio Victoria Plum Tree.
In spring, the tree brings delicate white blossoms that will attract bees and other pollinators to the garden. Then throughout the summer, the branches will be adorned with lush green leaves
So why exactly is the Victoria Plum our tree of choice for September? Well, to start with, Victoria Plum Trees are known for producing extreme bumper crops of fruit. These start ripening towards the end of August and are ready for the picking throughout September. The plums can be eaten fresh as soon as they’ve been plucked from the branches but where this plum really excels is in the kitchen.
The versatile fruits can be used in the making of jams and other sweet, baked goods. It holds its shape extremely well and once it’s cooked you will find that the flavour has transformed into something rich and sweet.
