Herons aren't usually welcome visitors to the garden - especially if you have a well stocked fish pond - but the Organic Heron Plum Trees will prove a popular addition to your orchard or garden fruit growing area.

Bred on the famous Rivers Nursery in Hertfordshire, Heron plum trees produce large, long oval shaped fruit ready for harvesting in August; cropping is reliable and as Heron falls into pollination group B, you'll need a variety from groups A, B or C to ensure these August harvested plums are in plentiful supply.

Organic Heron plum trees are raised on moderately vigorous St Julien A rootstocks and the fruit is purple skinned with a greenish yellow flesh.

Organic Heron Plum Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

Get your plum picking season off to a flying start with Organic Early Prolific Plum Trees; just like their name suggests, they're heavy croppers and you could be harvesting your first fruits as early as July.

The all important Early Prolific plums are oval in shape, have dark blue skin and a golden yellow flesh and as the organic Early Prolific plum trees are supplied on moderately vigorous St Julien A rootstocks, picking isn't gloing to be a problem! As Early Prolific isn't a self fertile variety, you will need to introduce a pollinating tree from groups C or E (Early Prolific falls into pollination group D) to ensure your tree is brimming with those early season plums!
