Plant description

This compact heirloom reliably yields abundant fruit from delicate spring blossom - the white flowers proving resilient to frost. By late summer, boughs decoratively arrange hearty oval plums with thin skins speckled with violet, revealing golden flesh reminiscent of honey with a perfume echoing ‘Victoria’, its renowned parent. Whether gathered for jams or fruit bowls, the flesh of ‘Jubileum’ readily frees the stone when sliced. For small spaces seeking fruit with disease-resistant fanfare, this excellent fruit cultivar ensures the garden’s August finale is always at its sweetest.

How to care for plum Jubilaeum:

When planting your plum tree, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Protect from cold, drying winds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet’ shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Please note:

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
