Plum ‘Black Amber’ (Mini Fruit Tree)

This heavy bearing Patio Plum produces plenty of rounded, firm purple fruits with a deliciously juicy texture. Plum ‘Black Amber’ has a complex sweet flavour that is superb when eaten straight from the tree.

• Plum rootstocks:
• VVA1 – Dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2m (6′,6″)
• Ferlinane – Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2.5m (8′)
• St. Julien – Semi vigorous reaching a mature height of up to 4.5m (14′)

This variety is partially self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator.

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 4 years.

Please note: Patio trees are derived from clonal selections for dwarfism which ensures a particularly compact growth habit of around 1m (39″) in height.
