Commonly Asked Questions
Do I need two plum trees to produce fruit?
Many plum varieties are self-fertile, so you only need one tree, but do check before buying. Trees that aren't self-fertile need a compatible 'pollination partner' nearby – another plum that flowers at a similar time (in a similar 'pollination group') – to ensure a good crop.
Which plum tree is best in the UK?
Victoria is by far the best known and popular mid-season plum. It is self-fertile and a prolific cropper, useful both as a dessert and culinary plum but rather disease-prone.
Where do plum trees grow best?
Plum trees need full sun to produce sweet fruit, so pick a planting site that gets at least six hours a day. For soil, they prefer loamy, well-draining soil rich with organic matter.
Do plum trees need pruning every year?
Prune every year in early spring (April), before bud break. Remove any suckers growing from the rootstock. Rub out any buds growing on the lower trunk. Cut out any dead, damaged, or diseased wood, and dispose of it as appropriate, removing it from the garden.
How long does a new plum tree take to fruit?
It can take a few years for a newly planted plum tree to produce fruit. After 2-3 years, it should produce a small crop, with a good crop possible 3-5 years after planting.
