Prunus Cerasifera – Cherry Plum or Myrobalan, produces red, orange-to-yellow, plum-like fruit approximately the size of a cherry with a sweet and tart flavour.
Once you bite through the super thin skin, the cherry plum will reveal golden flesh and a very small stone.
The delightfully soft texture complements the initial burst of sweetness and a tart aftertaste similar to cranberries.
Prunus Cerasifera is an upright, rounded, twiggy, deciduous tree producing delightful, small white flowers in early spring as the leaves open.
The pinkish red fruits only mature in a hot summer.
The cherry plum itself is perfectly round and extremely small in size, measuring only about two or three centimeters wide.
Often confused with the Sloe or Blackthorn, the Cherry Plum, is a deciduous tree introduced into Britain about 300 years ago.
It flowers slightly earlier than the Sloe, but with similar abundant white flowers covering the whole plant in mid-February.
Mist the leaves in early morning in summer. Indoors, stand pots on trays of moist hydroleca or Hortag to help increase humidity. Mist plants regularly in winter to help ensure good pollination and fruit set.
They are best grown in large, heavy containers using John Innes No3 Compost or a proprietary citrus compost.

J H Hale – Peach is a heritage variety that produces heavy crops of exceptionally large fruit with yellow flesh and a delightfully full flavour.
Originated in America in 1912, the J.H. Hale peach is still considered one of the finest flavoured yellow-fleshed, freestone peaches (the flesh comes away from the stone easily).
The fruit are extremely large, round and uniform, with smooth, almost furless skin, with a firm, fine-grained flesh free from stringiness.
Unlike most peach trees, the J.H. Hale variety cannot pollinate itself so it requires another peach tree close by for pollination.
