Plum Little Vic Patio Fruit Tree in a 4L Pot

Plum Little Vic Patio Fruit Tree in a 4L Pot £29.99
We are delighted to be able to offer the joys of the nation’s favourite Plum ‘Victoria’, but small enough for EVERY garden! Now anyone can grow juicy, fresh Vics, even on a balcony, terrace or small patio. Clever fruit tree grower Will Sibley has teamed the ever-popular best-selling ‘Victoria’ with a very dwarfing and compact new VVA1 rootstock, which removes most of the vigour that can sometiomes be the downfall of plums. It’s like someone has shrunk the tree – smaller in every ways, except the fruit, which is just as big and juicy as the normal variety. It still produces lovely pure white spring blossom displays, and is self-fertile, so no other plums needed for fruit – just leave the bees to do their thing! Perfect in large patio pots (minimum 30cm diameter) for 5 years or so, it produces big, juicy crops of classic red Victoria Plums, yet stays small, manageable and perfect for everyone.
