Prunus Domestica – Victoria Plum – Half Standard is a classic favourite, reliably fruiting, self-fertile, delightful dessert culinary plum.
Victoria Plum produces gorgeous white flowers and dark-red fruit throughout August to September.
This variety is tolerant of a range of well-drained soils but prefers clay loam in a sunny, sheltered position and is well-suited for all training forms.
Weeds can take hold so maintain a weed-free area of at least 60cm radius around the trunk.
Thin the fruits if necessary and water in dry periods.
This variety may require some form of frost protection due to its early flowering during spring frosts.
Juglans Regia – Broadview – Common Walnut is a hardy, spreading tree with aromatic, glossy, dark-green leaves, greenish-yellow flowers and followed by early, great quality walnuts.

Potted and fed with 6 month’s slow-release fertiliser.
Ficus Carica – Common Fig is a large deciduous shrub with bold, deeply lobed leaves and insignificant flowers followed by edible fruit to 10cm in length, at first green, but purplish when ripe.
Usually one crop of fruit per year, but sometimes two in a hot summer or under protection.

Prunus Avium – Early Rivers – Black Cherry produces heavy crops of well-sized, dark-red to black cherries with a delightfully sweet flavour and succulent flesh.

This variety is probably the earliest black cherry variety to ripen.
Prunus Avium – Stella – Sweet Cherry is an RHS award-winning variety that produces large, high-quality fruits with a sweet, deep flavour.
Stella benefits from heavy yields, regular crops throughout late June and is self-fertile.
