Bare root maidens or two year trees on St Julien A or Pixy rootstocks.

St Julien A rootstock produces bushes or half standards 3.5-4m (12-14 ft) high, and is also suitable for fans.

Some of the varieties below require cross pollination; choose a variety with the same or an adjacent flower group (eg. ‘B’ will be pollinated by A, B or C). sf = self-fertile, psf = partially self-fertile, ss = self-sterile. The bullaces and damsons are hardier and thriftier than plums and are rarely troubled by diseases.

See also Damsons and Gages for cross pollination possibilities.
