What could be more satisfying than being able to pick your own home-grown plums? Patio Plum 'Little Vic' will provide you with mouth-wateringly delicious fruits that will be ready to pick from July.

The ever-popular 'Victoria' plum variety has been teamed up with a very dwarfing and compact rootstock, removing most of the vigour that can sometimes be the downfall of plums. The result is the exceptional 'Little Vic' plum tree, smaller in every way, except the full-sized fruit!

This variety of plum tree will even provide you with gorgeous pink blossom in the spring. Once fully established, this tree can produce up to 100lb of fruit in a bumper season because it is self-fertile. This fantastic fruit tree is naturally compact and has been grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock and therefore will give you a shorter, easily controlled tree for planting in a large pot or container. Supplied as an established plant in a 4.5L pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips
  • Perfect in large pots on a patio - 30cm diameter or larger.
  • Trim longer new shoots back mid-summer for better shaped trees
Care Information
  • Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
  • For the biggest, juiciest plums, thin the fruits in May by removing some of the smaller, immature fruits. Then in July, while the plums are still hard, remove any that are damaged or diseased or touching others.
  • Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
  • Prune trees in late in July when they're in full growth. For young trees, take back the new upright growth by about a third. For older, mature trees, remove any dead, diseased or dying branches and then prune the older branches hard to promote productivity, aiming for an overall goblet shape.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
