Prunus Victoria - Victoria Plum Tree 2 Year Old Bush 4-5ftVictoria is by far the most popular plum variety in the UK and Ireland and is well known for heavy crops of very attractive plum coloured fruit. Victoria really excels as a culinary plum. It cooks to a distinctive pink orange puree which makes a very good jam and a good flavoured filling for pies and crumbles.

Victoria is by far the most popular plum variety in the UK and Ireland and is well-known for heavy crops of very attractive plum-coloured fruit.
Victoria really excels as a culinary plum. It cooks to a distinctive pink/orange puree which makes a very good jam and a good-flavoured filling for pies and crumbles. The stone is semi-clinging, and fairly easy to remove from the flesh. The flavour has a good sweet/sharp balance, and there is often a note of almond in the background which is a characteristic of Victoria.
Victoria plums are sometimes considered inferior to other dessert plum varieties for eating fresh. However this assumption is probably based on the poor flavour of shop-bought Victoria plums, which are usually picked far too early. The plums will ripen over a period of several weeks and if you want to eat them rather than cook with them, leave the plums on the tree until they are fully ripe - the skins will start to become a darker red /purple (as in our photograph) rather than the more usual orange flushed colour. At this point the flavour will certainly not disappoint.
This combination of excellent culinary qualities along with good flavour for eating fresh makes Victoria one of the most versatile plum varieties for the UK grower.
