Thompson and Morgan Plum Prunus Herman St Julien A Plant Pot 9L 2 Pack

Discover the joy of growing your own fruit with the Thompson and Morgan Plum Prunus Herman St Julien A Plant Pot 9L 2 Pack. This exceptional variety offers a particularly early harvest, with ripe fruits ready to be picked as early as July. The plums themselves are a beautiful blue-black hue, revealing succulent golden flesh within, boasting an excellent flavour profile that is best enjoyed fresh from the tree. Perfect as a dessert fruit, 'Herman' is a self-fertile variety, meaning it doesn't require a pollination partner, making it an ideal choice even for gardens with limited space. Plum 'Herman' is grafted onto St. Julien rootstock, which is semi-vigorous, allowing the tree to reach a mature height of up to 4.5 metres (14 feet). You can expect your first cropping within approximately two years of planting, with the best yields typically achieved around four years. Included are two trees, each supplied in a 9-litre pot, providing a great start for your orchard. How to Grow: Light: Plant in full sun for the best fruit production. Temperature: Hardy; no special temperature requirements beyond typical garden conditions. Watering: Water well after planting and during dry spells, especially when establishing and fruiting. Feeding: Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser; mulch annually. Humidity: No special humidity requirements. Included Varieties: Plum 'Herman' (Prunus domestica).
