Plum trees - where to find?
Options
Hi all. I have been looking everywhere for a plum tree to add to t my apple tree in the garden. I have found one but I am looking for victoria plums (for jam making). Am I looking at the wrong time? It seems I can find all the other fruits (even quinces) but no Victoria Plum. Any help appreciated:)

Hi,
last year I bought a plum tree from Focus DIY, it cost £10. Not sure if you have one near you?Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams

Great, thanks to you both. Have been looking mostly in garden centres (not very MSE). Unfortunately no morrisons local but a focus not too far. Will give it a go at the weekend. Hope yours are growing well!Where there is love there is forgiveness:smileyhea0

Not all Focus stores seem to have a garden centre bit so may be worth checking before you set out?
I have left my tree in the pot I bought it in and really need to plant it out soon actually!Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams0 -

If you fancy a drive to the coast (still in Hampshire!) - we've loads growing wild on the half plot at the back of our allotment - I'm sure we could discretely nick one!
For anyone that wonders - the plot I'm talking of is unlikely to be let as it has some large trees on it, so I'm not suggesting taking from a future plot hirer! There's about 50 anyway.........:mad: :j:D:beer::eek::A:p:rotfl::cool::):(:T0 -
sounds like scrumping at a very early stage lol!Where there is love there is forgiveness:smileyhea0

You beat me to it, I was going to suggest them too. I have their 'mini orchard' on order, expecting it this week, this includes a victoria plum, which you can order separately too, but I was looking to add a few fruit trees to my current selection and thought this looked a good deal for me.0 -
I bought some really good olive trees from seagravenurseries on the internet...I recall seeing plum trees at the time. I had a mature plum tree that gave fantastic crop, unfortunately it got diseased...had to chop it down , but they grow nicely as my neighbour planted one a few years back and its really taken off.0
