Hi,
I was thinking of getting a plum tree (in another post I posted about
problems with a peach tree, so I may have second thoughts!).
Which varieties do you recommend? I have done some research that
seemed to recommend Marjorie's seedling as it can be used for desert
and culinary uses. I guess I am mainly interested in something that I
can eat straight off the tree, but the potential for culinary use
would be useful (anyone got any recipes, plum sauce to accompany duck
perhaps?)
Thanks for your help.
I have both Marjorie's Seedling and Victoria in my garden (Midlands).
MS begins to ripen just as V is tailing off.
Some years, depending on weather, MS produced somewhat insipid fruit.
If I had room for just one tree, it would be Victoria.

Thought we had two Victoria's - turns out one is a Marjorie's Seedling -
both are very prolific croppers (and we get to eat what the wasps leave us!)
