Marjories Seedling Plum Tree

The Prunus domestica ‘Marjorie’s Seedling’ is a late-season plum tree which is the main commercially grown plum in the UK. It is a great cooking plum and is also very good for eating fresh when fully ripe.

Marjorie’s Seedling is popular with commercial growers due to it being hardy, disease resistant and a heavy cropper. These qualities also make it perfect for the garden or even a small orchard. The trick however with the Marjorie’s Seedling is to leave the fruit on the tree longer, to allow the plum to fulfil its full flavour potential.

The fruit is large and purple, becoming blue-black once fully ripe with a heavy bloom. The flesh is green-yellow, juicy, noticeable veiny with a traditional strong plum taste.

Prunus ‘Marjorie’s Seedling’ is known for attracting bees, beneficial insects, birds, butterflies and other pollinators.
