Product details

Brand: Roots Plants

Have you ever wanted to grow a plum tree but felt as though you don’t have the room? Well, do we have some good news for you... Cordon fruit trees comprise a vertical trunk with short, fruiting spurs branching off the side, leading to a much narrower fruit tree that still produces good yields – result! ‘Victoria’ is our grower’s favourite plum tree and widely thought of as the best plum variety out there – easy to grow and yielding delicious sticky plums, there’s a reason why it’s so popular! ‘Opal’ boasts small, perfectly formed plums with a comparable flavour profile to ‘Victoria’ (which, as we’ve established, is a pretty good variety to take after...) ‘Jubilee’ produces sizable plums, displays great disease resistance and, just to top it all off, is very hardy. Where do we sign? Our growers have expertly established the proper cordon shape for your plum tree, so all you need to do is prune your tree each year to help retain its shape. The main pruning should be done in summer, with occasional winter pruning also necessary. Here’s what you need to do: Towards the back end of August, cut shoots that are over 20 centimetres long, trimming back to a single leaf beyond the cluster of leaves at the base of the current year’s growth (often referred to as the basal cluster) If you find that your cordon’s spurs are becoming overly crowded – which can happen with more established trees – then thin out some of the older spurs which haven’t fruited quite so well (this should be done in winter)

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that the tree arrived with some snapped branches and that it is currently appearing slightly lopsided. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

We are pleased to hear that you have gone ahead with planting it, and we remain hopeful that, as it establishes and matures, it will develop into a healthy and well-balanced tree.

If you require any further advice or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Many thanks,
Sophie

Looking good so far. Arrived well packaged and with no damage. Been in place for only a few weeks now but it's started budding already.
