‘Victoria’ Plum Tree <\/strong>is one of the most popular plum varieties in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in mid 19th Century, Victoria has been praised for its versatile uses as a dessert and culinary plum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excellent variety for putting in jams and puddings, it also has a superb taste when eaten fresh off the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spring, single white flowers are an added delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plum 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pixy<\/strong>, a Semi-Dwarf variety, is suitable for smaller gardens and where space is at a premium. This rootstock grows up to a mature height of 2.5m (8ft) after 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Julian A<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
