Prunus cerasifera 'Golden Sphere'

One of several cherry plums (mirabelles) recently bred in one of the harshest climates in the world (the Ukraine). The fruits are considerably larger than our native varieties, are delicious eaten fresh and can also be used for making jam. This variety produces heavy crops of exceptionally large beautiful golden cherry plums. The fruits are firm and juicy with an excellent sweet flavour.

Pollination: Partially self-fertile. Group A.

Season: late July.

Tree Form: Cordon.

Plums, gages and damsons are a wonderful choice of tree to grow in the garden as in favourable conditions they will crop reliably, producing masses of fruit year after year. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot. 

 

The modern way to grow fruit trees is to train them as vertical cordons. These space-saving columnar trees are attractive as well as fruitful and are perfect for smaller gardens. Cordon plum trees can be spaced as close as 90cm (3ft) apart and are also ideal planted in containers on a sunny patio or balcony. Cordons should have their ultimate height restricted to 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) and their fruiting laterals pruned during the summer months in order to retain their compact columnar shape. 

 

Our cordon plum, gage and damson trees are grafted onto St Julien 'A' rootstock, which will produce a tree of medium vigour that is easy to grow, easy to control and easy to pick. Trees can be grown as vertical cordons (just use a stake to support them) or oblique cordons (against a wall or fence). They are also perfect for container growing.

 
Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until late April). Where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.
 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order.  All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
