Is the plum easy to grow, good to eat, Ive heard good and bad things
regarding victorias.?

Victorias are excellent, and some trees have to be propped in a good
year. They are excellent fresh, when ripe, make a crumble to die for,
they preserve well, and make good jam.

The shop-bought ones are usually picked when they are hard and unripe,
and ripen to be hard with little flavour. To be avoided, however cheap
they are.
