Description for Plum Victoria Patio Fruit Trees 9cm Pots - Set of 3 not available
A reliable and popular, high-yielding variety, 'Masterpiece Green Longpod' is considered by many to be the best broad bean you can grow. The seeds are quick to germinate, either indoors in pots or outdoors planted directly into their cropping position, generating vigorous plants that will provide plenty of fresh, tasty beans for your plate - and plenty more for the freezer. True to its name, this variety produces particularly long, regularly formed pods, each containing 6 to 8 juicy beans. Harvesting from June onwards, the younger you pick them, the more tender the beans will be; or leave them to mature a while longer if you prefer larger beans. You can even cook the young pods whole; just top and tail them, and then gently steam to retain the best of their flavour and texture. If you harvest more beans than you can eat, just blanch them and put into an airtight container or bag, then store in your freezer until required. They will retain their shape and texture well and be just as delicious cooked from frozen. Being a worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure of good-quality, plentiful crops that are easy and rewarding to grow. Sow indoors from February to April for planting out from April to May, or sow outdoors from February to May, in a sunny position directly where they are to crop, 60cm (24in) apart in well-drained, fertile soil. Harvest from June to August. Supplied as a packet of 45 (approx.) seeds ready to plant indoors in individual pots or outdoors in their cropping position. Grows to 1.2m (48in) by 30cm (12in) spread.

'Victoriana' are gorgeous, old fashioned style Primulas that feature a wonderful lacing effect outlining their flower petals. This mixture features flowers with golden yellow centres in deep mahogany with gold lacing, whilst the bright magenta and rich red varieties have silvery lacing. While they have the same number of petals as any other primula, their unique patterning gives the effect that they have twice as many, and their delightful blooms add a sophisticated contrast when planted with other primulas. The flowers are carried on robust, upright stems and can easily number 10-15 per stem. Primulas are woodland plants, so they love shady areas and look wonderful growing underneath shrubs and trees, where they really brighten up the garden before the summer flowering plants take over. Reliable perennials that will naturalise easily, they form tight clumps over several years, and are an absolute delight when they emerge each spring. Occasionally they will flower for a second time in late summer or autumn. Supplied as 20 garden ready plants, ready to plant in your garden and growing to a height and spread of 20 cm (8 in).
We are delighted to be able to offer the joys of the nation's favourite Plum 'Victoria', but small enough for EVERY garden! Now anyone can grow juicy, fresh Vic's, even on a balcony, terrace, or small patio. Clever fruit tree grower Will Sibley has teamed the ever-popular best-selling 'Victoria' with a very dwarfing and compact new VVA1 rootstock, which removes most of the vigour that can sometimes be the downfall of plums. It's like someone has shrunk the tree - smaller in every way, except the fruit, which is just as big and juicy as the normal variety. It still produces lovely pure white spring blossom displays, and is self-fertile, so no other plums needed for fruit - just leave the bees to do their thing! Perfect in large patio pots (minimum 30cm diameter) for 5 years or so, it produces big, juicy crops of classic red Victoria Plums, yet stays small, manageable, and perfect for everyone. Supplied as an established plant in a 4.5L pot, ready to plant out.

Both arrived in wonderful condition, spent some time in a bucket having a good drink as recommended, then planted. I was fascinated to see blossom appear on both trees. Considering they were young dwarf stock I hardly expected to see that. I expected they would spend their first few years putting down roots. I have just eaten the first plum of 6 my little tree produced. Oh my, what flavour, what sweetness! It truly stopped me in my tracks. Anyway I thought I just had to tell you what joy my little tree has brought. Thank you. A very satisfied customer! Julie, Warwickshire, September 2016
