Malling Elizabeth Plum
- Unit price
- / per
This particular plum variety is renowned for its heavy crop production, resembling the Victoria plum but with an earlier harvest period, typically in early July. The fruits are sizable, firm, ovate-shaped, and display a striking red-purple coloration. They have an average weight of around 37 grams per fruit and offer a sweet taste. The juicy flesh inside is yellow-orange, providing a delightful eating experience.
During spring, the Plum Malling™ Elizabeth® showcases small, white flowers approximately one week before the Victoria variety, contributing to its unique growing cycle.
It's worth noting that as of my last update in January 2022, the European Union PBR (Plant Breeders' Rights) for this variety was pending under the reference number 20200654, and it was registered under UK 25/593.
May be susceptible to plum aphid, red spider mite and winter moth caterpillar. The fruit can be damaged by plum moth caterpillars, wasps and birds
"Disease resistance: Good May be susceptible to peach leaf curl, silver leaf, bacterial canker, blossom wilt and honey fungus
Brown rot: Some resistance
Plum pox virus / Sharka: Some resistance
Blossom wilt: Some resistance"
"Climate suitability: Temperate climates Climate suitability: Mild damp climates Summer average maximum temperatures: Warm (25-30C / 76-85F)"
