Plum Tree - Laxton's Delicious

Plum Tree - Laxton's Delicious

Origin: Bedfordshire, 1920
Plum Type: Culinary/Dessert
Flowering Group : 3
Rootstock: St Julien A
Size : Maiden
Harvest : September

Laxton's Delicious has beautiful pinky-red fruit with a distinct lavender-blue bloom. The plums are very juicy and have a rich sugary flavour. Less prolific than Laxton's Cropper, but the plums have a slightly better flavour and keep just as well. Although Laxton's Delicious is self fertile, yields are likely to be improved by planting with an appropriate pollinator.

Supplier : R.V.Roger Ltd.

All our plum trees, including Laxton's Delicious, are bare root. At the height of the lifting season - between November and March - there may be up to a month's delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders for Laxton's Delicious plum trees from March to September are confirmed in late October/ early November ready for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.
