    I was planning to plant two Victoria Plum Trees, Self Fertile, this year.
    When is the best time to plant ?.
    What Soil Conditions Do They Prefer?.
    What is the Best Feeding for them?

    Any Information would be Appreciated.:dbgrtmb:.

    I think now is the best time to plant any bare root ones isnt it. The roots will need soaking for 24 hours before planting though

      Why not buy an early and late variety?

        I bought a Victoria plum tree from Ashridge Trees last year, and it was delivered in November ready for planting. There are some wee buds showing already, so hopefully it will be happy in its new home :)

        PS - I can highly recommend Ashridge Trees, fantastic service :blue thumb:
