Imagine growing two different varieties of plum on one tree. Even better – this compact little plum tree will fit on your patio or balcony! Our novel duo fruit trees are perfect for small spaces and make excellent container plants. Two varieties are grafted onto one stem to create the perfect partnership which will pollinate each other to produce good crop yields. Despite being dwarf trees, the fruits will be of normal size. Duo Plum combines two popular varieties, ‘Opal’ and ‘Reine Claude d’Oullins’, both with a fabulous flavour. If grown in containers, these naturally dwarf trees will reach a mature height of just 1.5-1.8m.

- 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 self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.
