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 (1- 2 years old, c.100cm tall)
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.

Will grow to a mature tree of around 3.5m

Supplier : R.V.Roger Ltd.

All our plum trees, including Laxton's Delicious, 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.
