How To Grow Victoria Plum Tree
Victoria Plum trees like all plum trees require plenty of water until they establish and during the fruiting season. It can take anywhere from a tree aged two to four years before you see a good harvest. Victoria plum trees require a bit more pruning in spring than Opal plum.
Add plenty of manure in March or feed with sulphate of potash.
Remove branches that rub across other branches in Spring.
Provide the tree with a deep soaking every seven to ten days during prolonged dry periods. Slightly dry soil is always better than soggy, waterlogged conditions. Beware of over watering, which may result in rot or other moisture-related diseases.
