Plum Tree - Denbigh

Plum Tree - Denbigh

The Denbigh plum is a truly ancient fruit. Some say it was grown by Carmelite monks in the town as early as the 13th century! It's the only surviving native Welsh plum, and a real beauty. It's good for eating and cooking, and the trees are healthy and self fertile. Once nearly lost, the “Vale of Clwyd Denbigh Plum” has been awarded European Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. The Vale has a long history of fruit production, which at its peak included well over 200 orchards. This history is apparent in Denbigh itself, which has street names like Bryn Eirin - "Plum Hill".

Pick in August if you want to cook with it, September to eat it fresh.

Supplier : Tom The Apple Man Fruit Tree Nursery

All our plum trees are bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
