Description Delivery
Shropshire prunes date back to the 17th century and still have much to offer modern growers. Blue-black fruits can be harvested in late September. The small fruits are sharp and astringent when fresh, but cook down to make fabulous jams and puddings with an intensely rich flavour. This variety is hardy, tough and suitable for growing in all areas of the UK. Being self fertile, it is reliable, producing excellent crops year after year. Plum rootstocks:VVA1 - Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2.5m (8')St. Julien - Semi vigorous reaching a mature height of up to 4.5m (14')This variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.Useful links:How to grow fruit trees Fruit rootstock guide Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.
