‘Marjories Seedling’ Plum Tree is a popular cooking and eating plum. More than a hundred years since it was first introduced, this plum has a reputation for its wonderful texture, delicious flavour and beautiful colour. Large in shape and deep purple in colour, Marjorie’s Seedling Plums have yellow flesh and a juicy fruit.
In spring, a late, white blossom avoids most of the early frosts and looks delightful on the tree. As the blooms fade, the fruit emerges to be harvested from late September, October. In addition to its wonderful fruit and flowers, this tree is reliable and easy to grow and has received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. This award highlights plants that are best suited to the UK climate, have consistent and healthy growth, and have good disease and pest resistance. So you have added peace of mind that you will enjoy this wonderful fruit tree for many years to come.
Marjorie’s Seedling is available on Myrobalan rootstock. The rootstock controls the rate of growth and also ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots. Myrobalan is a semi-vigorous to vigorous rootstock variety. It is suited to most soil types and grows to a mature height of around 4.5 metres in 10 years.
