The county of Gloucestershire is well known for its plums. Grown particularly along the lower reaches of the River Severn south of Gloucester and into the Forest of Dean. Some Gloucestershire plums are very local to certain parts of the county and as a result are dwindling in number.
At the request of Gloucestershire Orchard Trust (GOT) we are growing a good selection of these Gloucestershire plums & damson trees. All available as bare root ‘maidens’ on moderate vigour St Julien A & vigorous Brompton rootstocks.
We have been offering these varieties for a few years now and have noticed their demand declining. After this winter less of these varieties will be grown. So come on good people of Gloucestershire purchase while they are still available and maybe prove there is a demand for these varieties!
We are growing a couple of other Goucestershire plums – Blaisdon Red & Grove’s Late Victoria. These are more widely known and are also on the Plums page.
