Wanted!! Mature Prunus Victoria

[Adam Bourne]

Hey guys,

 

Putting some feelers out as I know how fast the word travels on here. The estate that I'm on are looking for a mature Victoria plum, the tree will be a feature tree situated by itself but needs to be of a decent size!

It will also need to be delivered to boston Lincolnshire area. Can anyone help us out? All questions can be answered and yes money is no object! Please be serious with replies.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Adam

Might be able to get you a three year old tree .

Adam,

 

Try Kingsdown Nurseries. They occasionally have various fruit trees for sale in pots that can be up to 10 - 15 years old.

 

Failing that Deepdale may be able to source you one from there supplies in Europe.

Can't help directly with a source, but bear in mind wherever you get one from it will be grafted and the rootstock choice along with variety will control the ultimate size. Victoria is not that vigorous so:

 

St. Julien A will be most common - 12'-15' ultimate height.

Brompton will give you a tree around 18'-20' ultimate height.

 

If you need bigger than this as a large feature you would need to change variety - Diamond on its own roots will give you more of a 'statement' tree.
