advice on plum trees please
I'm thinking of planting a plum tree later this summer in a corner of the
garden. There seem to be plenty of self-pollinating varieties. Any general advice on varieties, planting, care etc would be very welcome. Thanks KK |

Any general advice on varieties, planting, care etc would be very welcome. You don't say if you want eaters or cookers. In general, if you are only planting one tree then go for Victoria. Choose your rootstock depending on the size of your garden The nurseryman should be able to recommend which one to use. I seem to remember that our Victoria came on semi-dwarfing St. Julien A but it was a long time ago. HTH Dave R |
