‘Marjories Seedling’ Plum Tree is a popular cooking and eating plum.
After a hundred years since it’s introduction, this plum has renowned texture, flavour and colour. Large in shape and a sharp purple in colour, Marjorie’s Seedling has yellow flesh and a fairly sweet taste.
In Spring, a late, white blossom avoids most of the early frosts.
Marjorie’s Seedling is available in different rootstocks to suit a range of gardens. The rootstock controls the rate of growth so you can choose a rootstock suitable to where you would like to plant your tree. The rootstock also ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots.
St Julian A, a Semi-Vigorous variety, is one of the largest rootstocks available for plum trees and is best suited to large gardens and where space is not an issue. This rootstock grows to a mature height upwards of 3.5m (11ft) after 10 years.
