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. They flower early so need shelter from cold winds. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot. 

 

Our plum trees are grafted onto St. Julien ‘A’ rootstock, which will produce a tree with medium vigour that can be trained into a bush, cordon, pyramid or fan. 

 
  • Bush plum, gage and damson trees will typically grow to 3.6-4.6m (12-15ft) in height and spread.
  • If space is limited, consider growing cordons. These columnar trees should be restricted to 1.8m-2.4m (6-8ft) in height and can be spaced 90cm (3ft) apart. They 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.
  • You can also train a plum tree as a fan against a south facing wall or fence or as a pyramid tree. For these two methods of training you will need to start off with a one year old tree (only available in selected varieties).
 
Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until late March). 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).
