Cherry plum tree (Prunus cerasifera 'Ruby') - 2-litre pot

'Ruby' is a cherry plum with large to very large red fruit and red flesh. The tree grows in a columnar shape, keeping it relatively narrow. This variety is self-pollinating and is known for its high to very high yield. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption or processing and ripen from late July to early August.

Tips and care:

• Planting: because the trees are supplied in pots, they can be planted all year round. We prefer planting in the autumn, as the soil is still warm and moist, which allows the trees to take root well. Plants that are planted in the autumn have a better-developed root system than those planted in the spring.
• Organic/non-organic: this nursery stock comes from a small-scale grower, without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we are certain it is toxin-free.
• Support: provide support with a stake for the first year.
