The highlights
- Sweet, jammy plums with notes of honey
- Glorious spring blossom
- Foodies will *love* this charming tree
- Who wouldn't want this for their birthday?
Description
- You know what makes the best gift? Multiple points of appeal. And with our patio plum tree, that's exactly what you get. Not only will this tree produce absolutely delicious plums, it also offers up some of the nicest blossoms of any tree, as well as a canopy of lush, green foliage. And the best part? It's small enough to grow on a balcony or terrace!
- Known to symbolise perseverance, as the blooms are able to tough out the cool conditions of late winter and early spring, this is the perfect graduation or new job gift.
- While you get to enjoy the sweet, honeyed fruits, this tree will also attract a host of friendly pollinators (like bees and butterflies) to their own little nectar feast in the flowers.
- Your plum tree will arrive wrapped in a charming hessian sheet, tied with a luxury bow and packaged in premium cardboard. You'll also receive a small care booklet.
- To get the most from your tree, plant it in a fully sunny spot and keep it well-watered during hot, dry spells. If you're growing your plum tree in a pot, this will need more regular watering.

How to grow
How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Our patio plum trees typically display good resistance to problems like cracking, but might still be impacted by aphids and caterpillars (though these can easily be washed away with soapy water).
Full sun
Patio plum trees typically grow and fruit best in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Any moist, well-drained compost
Plant your patio plum tree in loamy compost like John Innes No.3.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
