Price range: €200.00 through €350.00

Plum ‘Victoria’ (Prunus domestica ‘Victoria’)

First discovered in Sussex during the 19th century, ‘Victoria’ remains the most popular and dependable plum tree across Ireland and the UK. It produces heavy, reliable crops of medium-to-large, egg-shaped fruits that ripen to a warm pinkish-red with a dusty blue bloom. The golden flesh is sweet, aromatic, and exceptionally juicy, making it perfect for fresh eating, baking, preserves, and crumbles.

As a fully self-fertile variety, ‘Victoria’ requires no pollination partner, making it an ideal standalone choice for gardens of any size.
