Plum ‘Rivers’s Early Prolific’

Plum ‘Rivers’s Early Prolific’ is an early season variety cropping in July. As the name suggests, it reliably produces heavy crops of small, blue-black fruits. When fully ripe, the fruits can be eaten freshly picked as a dessert plum, but they are better used in the kitchen for pies, sauces and preserves. This is a self fertile variety making it ideal for gardens where there is no pollination partner available.

• Plum rootstocks:
• VVA1 – 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.

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

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
