My Edible Fruit Trees: Plum Trees
Plum - Red seedling (Seedling) 9/10Edward3's Edible FruitsUpdate: 105 days 12hrs Comments: - Grew this plant from seed of fruit labelled as Red Plum, which might actually be Amber Jewel. The tree has now fruited and the result is a firm, very dark red large plum with a good flavour. Crop has been limited, possibly due to need for cross-pollination, so have now planted other plum tree seedlings nearby for that purpose. Grows vigorously in Sydney. Also grafted on in Katoomba where it produced a large crop of large plums. Planted: 2015 Height 3 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year First Fruited: 4 Years from Seed Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Autumn SummerPollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: Using fruit bags on individual plums.

Plum - President (Grafted) 9/10![]() Update: 794 days 6hrs Comments: - Tree growing in Katoomba. Excellent slightly tart flavour.

Plum - Santa Rosa (Grafted) 10/10![]() Update: 869 days 14hrs Comments: - This has been grafted to a tree as a "double graft" with a Mariposa plum so that they can cross-pollinate one another. I am so happy with it! It flowered and "fruited" already technically, but dropped all its fruit as it really is far too young and small to be bearing fruit. However it did everything perfectly, so maybe this year or next year we will start to see the pay off and its "practice run" kept the local bees happy. Still in a large grow pot while we work out where to install it!

Plum - Reine Claude de Bavay (Grafted) 9/10![]() Update: 1228 days 15hrs Comments: - This variety is reported to be very tasty and is popular in Europe. Does not appear to be available in Australia, but I was fortunate to obtain one from a private grower in Victoria. Tree being grown in Katoomba. First fruit in 2017 - very similar to green gage so I suspect it is not Reine Claude. Bought a scion of Reine Claude in 2021 from grower guaranteeing it is genuine, and grafted it on.
