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.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:AprilFruiting Time:AugustAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

Originally grown in France in the mid-19th century, and often known by it's French name 'Reine Clauide d'Oullins', the 'Oullin's Golden Gage' is a great, self-fertile, garden variety for anyone to grow. It prefers warmer weather than apples or pears, so will fruit later in the year, producing its attractive, golden-yellow, red-specked fruits in abundance in late summer. Very much sweeter and juicier than typical plums, it is a real sweet treat plucked fresh from the tree. There is no greater pleasure than picking a plump, juicy plum straight from your own tree and popping it straight into your mouth! The firm, aromatic flesh is packed full of sweet fruitiness and the juice will delight your tastebuds! If you can resist eating them all, these versatile fruits are perfect for use in cooking, and will freeze well for using later.
With its thin, flat texture, slate is a beautiful alternative to more traditional gravel. This recycled Welsh slate is completely natural and lime free and changes colour when it gets wet from lilac grey to wonderfully shiny shades of purple and plum, creating a clean, modern look, however you choose to use it around your home and garden. It looks fantastic as a top dressing for pots and planters both indoors and out, especially for architectural specimen plants, and will help to retain moisture and supress weeds too. It's also fish friendly, so it can be used in aquariums, ponds and water features without the danger of it altering the pH or anything leaching out that could upset the delicate balance of the water. These larger-size slate chippings are naturally roughly edged and graded to be about 40 mm long, with varying widths. They make a great colour and texture contrast when used as an edging for slabbed or decked patios and are also suitable for pathways, becoming wonderfully reflective in wet weather. Although the slate is prewashed and ready to use, we recommend that it is washed again before aquatic use. As a guide, one bag of slate will cover 50 cm² (20 in²) at a depth of 25 mm (1 in). Supplied as a 20 kg bag.

They are simply wonderful eaten straight from the tree. 'Czar' is a rewarding tree to grow in your garden and will save you a fortune compared to supermarket plum prices. This self-fertile tree has a long life - so will supply you with delicious fruit for many years to come.
