Plum Tree - Red Magnum Bonum
Red Magnum Bonum is an ancient plum, certainly in England before 1629. Previously known as Red Imperial, under which name is was introduced by noted naturalist and plantsman, John Tradescent. Its fruit is purple with bloom, medium-large, long and oval in shape. Although Red Magnum Bonum is self fertile, yields are likely to be improved by planting with an appropriate pollinator.
We're currently offering Red Magnum Bonum as two to three year old bush plants on Colt rootstock, which will grow up to over 3.5m.
Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.
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.
