Organic Czar Plum Trees got their distinctive name thanks to a visit by Russian Tsar Alexander II, who had visited England in May of 1874 while the first crop was beginning to grow - and ever since, plum growers both commercial and amateur have raved about the jam and preserve making qualities of this very popular early culinary plum variety.
Grown on the moderately vigorous St Julien A rootstock, our Organic Czar Plum Trees are supplied as maidens which makes training them as spectacular fan trees along a warm, south facing wall an easy job. Czar plum trees will also flourish in bush tree form too and produce heavy crops of the renowned dark purple skinned fruits - which can be eaten straight from the tree when ripe as well as making it into the kitchen - which are ready to pick in late July and August. The Czar plum variety also has some frost resistance and is self fertile, adding to the attraction!
