Product Information
Compared by many to be an improvement on the UK's favourite plum, this superb variety makes a tasty alternative to Victoria (with the potential to become the finest plum available to UK home gardeners), producing juicy fruits that are bigger, better and tastier.
Self-fertile and easy to grow, 'Jubilee' (sometimes known as 'Jubileum' ) produces sweet, oval plums that are perfect for eating straight from the tree, with a firm yellow flesh and blushed-red skin that is slightly darker than Victoria – and up to 2 weeks earlier.
A truly versatile fruit, their texture makes them ideal as a dessert plum for cooking and preserving too, so you can enjoy a scrumptious plum pie at any time of the year!
Supplied as an established plant, 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot ready for immediate planting. Flowers April–May, with fruit July–September. Eventual height 2.5m x 2.5m width.

Plant Care Information
Top Tips
- Grow alongside 'Victoria' plum variety to extend your cropping season as 'Jubilee' ripens a few weeks earlier.
Care Information
- Water regularly, and apply a mulch of well-rotted compost or manure over winter.
- Stone fruit should not be pruned during winter, to minimise the risk of infection – early summer is the ideal time.
- Established trees don't require radical pruning; just take off any diseased, dying or damaged branches (the three Ds). Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches, removing any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
- Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or overripe fruit on the ground.
- Don't forget the tree guards as rabbits can strip the bark overnight.
