Plum tree Victoria – Prunus domestica 'Victoria'
A time-tested plum for home gardens
The Victoria plum is a dependable cultivar that produces golden-yellow fruit with a red blush. Grafted as a low-stem tree, it flowers early in March and ripens in late August. It is self-fertile, but yields improve with nearby compatible plum trees. A favourite for its flavour and ease of cultivation.
