Plum Luisa - Bare-Rooted

Plum Luisa is a superb choice for small gardens, renowned for its heavy crops of distinctive, oval-shaped, yellow-fleshed fruits. Exceptionally sweet and juicy, these plums are delightful for fresh eating, preserving, or culinary uses. The skin of the fruit is an attractive yellow with a red blush, adding to its visual appeal. In spring, the tree is adorned with delicate five-petalled white blossoms, creating a spectacular floral display.

This self-fertile, deciduous tree is ideal for planting in full sun and needs to be sheltered from strong winds to protect its blossoms and fruits. It adapts well to a variety of garden styles, especially those with limited space. For optimal fruit production, ensure the soil is well-drained.

It typically reaches a height and spread of about 2-3m, making it perfectly sized for smaller landscapes while still offering abundant fruit harvests.
