Visit Your Tree and Pick the Fruit
One of the most enjoyable parts of gifting a plum tree is the chance to visit your tree on our Devon land.
When fruit is available and your tree is producing, you are welcome to arrange a visit and pick plums from your tree during harvest season.
Please note: Fruit production is natural and can vary each year. Weather, pollination, age of the tree, pruning, wildlife and seasonal conditions can all affect yields. We cannot guarantee fruit in any particular year and cannot be held responsible if fruit is eaten by birds, animals or insects.
Harvest Time
Most plums in the UK are harvested between July and September, although exact timing depends on the variety, weather and season.
Some early varieties crop sooner, while later plums ripen towards autumn.
Benefits to Wildlife
Plum trees are valuable for wildlife as well as people.
Pollinators
Spring blossom provides nectar and pollen for bees and other beneficial insects.
Birds
Birds may feed on fallen fruit and use the tree for shelter.
Habitat
As the tree matures, it contributes to biodiversity and a richer natural environment.
Soil & Growing Conditions
Plum trees grow best in:
• Moisture-retentive loam
• Sunny positions
• Sheltered sites where possible
