Plum 'Victoria'

• Britain’s best-loved plum - reliable, easy, and self-fertile
• Produces heavy crops of sweet, juicy fruits
• Ideal for pots, containers, or smaller gardens
• Beautiful spring blossom followed by rich harvests in August

Plum ‘Victoria’ is the classic British plum; a firm favourite for over a century thanks to its unbeatable reliability, flavour, and productivity. It produces heavy crops of large, egg-shaped fruits with purple-orange skins and sweet, juicy yellow flesh. Perfect for eating fresh, making jam, or using in desserts, ‘Victoria’ is as versatile as it is delicious.

This self-fertile variety doesn’t need a pollination partner and will reward even beginner gardeners with consistent harvests year after year. In spring, it’s covered in dainty white blossom, followed by a cascade of plums ready to pick from August. Grafted onto the semi-dwarfing St Julien A rootstock, it grows to a manageable size and performs equally well in the ground or in large pots and containers.
