Collection: Plum trees

I grow and sell a curated selection of standout plums of both European and Asian species. I've chosen these varieties for their exceptional flavour, their excellent reputation, and, for some, because they are self-fertile.

Please note: This page is still being updated - stay tuned for more varieties.

Tree grades: All our trees have had a strong season of growth and are high-quality, top-grade trees. All are sold bare root, while dormant. For more information see the General nursery information page.

A note on plum pollination: There are multiple species of plums, and they can't all pollinate each other due to having different numbers of chromosomes. Basically, the European and Asian species don't cross-pollinate, and can't make fruit together.

European plums (Prunus domestica) all pollinate each other – so in my catalogue, the Damson and Greengage pollinate each other, and will also cross-pollinate with a blue Italian plum, say. Likewise, the Asian/Japanese plums (Prunus salicina) cross-pollinate each other, and they also cross-pollinate with our North America's native wild plums (Prunus americana and Prunus nigra) – but they do not cross-pollinate with the European plums.

So, for example, if you have a Japanese plum and a native plum, they could cross-pollinate each other, and you could get fruit. But if you have a blue Italian plum and a Japanese plum, you won't get fruit (unless you talk your neighbours into getting some compatible plum trees...).

All that said, the self-fertile varieties I offer are Damson, Greengage, and Toka.
