There's a bit on this site about the various trees you can get, but I can't find anything about starting them from seed.  I'm just going to pop it in the ground and hope for the best.  Wish me luck

Good luck but why waste you'r time waiting for what I consider the best fruit tree to produce.I was coming on the site especially to wax lyrically about how beautiful plum trees are when they are in full bloom when I saw you'r post.My victoria plum trees also have the added bonus of the blossom having a beautiful scent .Somthing I haden't noticed before even though i've had them for about 7 years.With the best bonus of all in early autumn of lovely sweet,juicy plumbs.They don't cast much of a shade either which is something you have to consider because my plumbs are grafted on to a dwarfing rootstock.If you grow the plum from seed you could have quite a big tree.

I had 3 Mirabelle plum trees given to me not so long ago and they all self seeded. They all have blossom on them at the moment and I'm hoping for a small crop this season and a bumper one next time round

Thanks sion01.  Maybe I'll just put it in a big pot in the garden instead then.  It couldn't get too big then I suppose.

Plum wine, Plum jam and of course Plum tart - all good reasons to grow a plum!!
