Thompson and Morgan Plum Prunus Opal Espalier Plant Pot 5L 2 Pack

Bring a burst of mid-summer sweetness to your garden with Thompson and Morgan Plum Prunus Opal Espalier Plant Pot 5L 2 Pack, perfect for smaller spaces and rewarding you with reliable, generous crops of red-flushed yellow fruits. Enjoy the succulent golden flesh and gage-like flavour straight from the tree while benefiting from a self-fertile variety that requires no pollination partner. Thriving in a sunny, sheltered spot, these hardy plums begin cropping in around two years and are supplied as dormant bare-root trees ready to flourish once planted. How to Grow: Light: Plant in full sun for the best fruiting results. Temperature: Hardy, but prefers a sheltered spot to avoid frost damage to blossom. Watering: Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first few years. Feeding: Apply a mulch of well-rotted compost or manure each spring to boost growth. Humidity: Ensure good air circulation around the tree to reduce the risk of disease. VVA1: Dwarf, ideal for smaller gardens (up to 2m). Ferlinane: Semi-dwarf, compact but productive (up to 2.5m). St. Julien: Semi-vigorous, strong growth and larger tree (up to 4.5m). Self-fertile; no pollination partner required. Cropping begins in around 2 years; best yields after four years. Supplied as bare-root trees during the dormant season (autumn–spring). Trees may appear lifeless on arrival but are simply dormant and will establish quickly once planted.
