Plum (Grafted)

About Plum (Grafted)

Plum is a soft, round, smooth-skinned stone fruit with juicy flesh ranging from sweet to tart, delicious eaten fresh off the tree. This is a grafted plant, which fruits sooner and truer to type than a seed-grown one.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun for the best flowering and fruit set.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile loamy soil.
• Climate: Suitable for areas with temperatures generally below 35°C; benefits from some winter chill for good flowering.

Planting & Spacing

Give a grafted plum tree adequate spacing to mature; can be grown in a large pot while young.

Care

• Watering: Water when the topsoil feels dry to the touch; avoid waterlogging around the roots.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 2-3 months during the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune in the dormant season to remove crossing or dead branches and maintain an open shape for good air circulation.

Fruiting & Harvest

This variety typically begins fruiting 2-3 years (grafted) after planting. Fruit develops full colour and gives slightly to gentle pressure when ripe.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. The plum pit (kernel) contains cyanogenic compounds and should never be chewed or given to pets - the ripe flesh is safe and delicious.
