Plum trees at Thompson and Morgan
Friday, January 20th, 2012Thompson & Morgan has these various plum trees – either as sets or individual trees.
If every garden in the UK planted a fruit tree then that would be millions of extra trees planted – providing healthy fruit for people!
Perhaps we should all start doing our bit now and plant one and then spread the word!
I love plums – they’re quite dear at the shops though so you could save a fortune growing some yourself. Make plum jam when you have too many to eat – or pass them on to the neighbours too!
