Characteristics of Plum Victoria:

• Height: Plum Victoria typically grows to a height of 10-15 feet.
• Spread: Its spread can range from 8-12 feet, making it an ideal addition to both small and large gardens.
• Fruit: This variety produces medium to large-sized plums with a deep purple skin and juicy, sweet flesh. They are perfect for eating fresh, cooking, or making preserves.
• Flowering: Plum Victoria delights with its profusion of delicate white blossoms in early spring, adding a touch of elegance to your garden landscape.
• Foliage: Its foliage is lush and green, providing an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season.
• Pollination: While Plum Victoria is partially self-fertile, planting it alongside another compatible plum variety can enhance fruit production.

Maintenance Tips:

• Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for optimal growth. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and backfill with compost to enrich the soil.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, to ensure adequate moisture for healthy growth and fruit development.
• Pruning: Conduct annual pruning in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and maintain an open, airy canopy. This promotes better air circulation and sunlight penetration, reducing the risk of disease.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients for vigorous growth and abundant fruiting.
• Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and plum moth larvae, and promptly treat any infestations using organic or chemical control methods. Additionally, practicing good sanitation by removing fallen fruit can help prevent disease spread.

Conclusion:

With its graceful appearance and delectable fruit, Plum Victoria is sure to captivate both novice and seasoned gardeners alike. By following these maintenance guidelines, you can ensure that your Plum Victoria thrives and continues to delight for years to come.
