Plum ‘Guinevere’

Similar to the better known ‘Marjories Seedling’, but mainly used as a dessert fruit. Plum ‘Guinevere’ produces heavy crops of large, black fruits in late September which can be eaten fresh or used in the kitchen. Unusually for most plums, the fruits will store well if refrigerated. Plum ‘Guinevere’ is self fertile, making it particularly useful in smaller gardens where there is only the space for one tree.

• Plum rootstocks:
• VVA1 – Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2.5m (8′)
• St. Julien – Semi vigorous reaching a mature height of up to 4.5m (14′)

This variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.
