Plum Sugar – Freshly Potted*
An upright deciduous fruiting tree that requires pollination for fruit development. Plum Sugar produces long stems with elliptic deep green leaves, which change colour in autumn. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Plum Sugar has small long oval fruit with dark red, almost purple skin. The flesh is yellow semi-firm, juicy, very sweet with a semi-clingstone seed. Ideal for eating fresh, cooking, drying or preserving. This is an ideal tree for smaller gardens, patios, apartments, food gardens or planted into a large pot. It grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.
