Blood Plum Tree

Blood Plum is a classic Japanese plum, prized for its dark red skin and deep crimson flesh that’s bursting with flavour. The fruit is juicy with a balanced sweet–tart taste, making it ideal for fresh eating straight from the tree as well as for cooking, bottling, and jam making. Once established, this tree can provide generous crops during the warmer months.

This plum prefers a full sun position with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering during dry periods and a light feed with a quality fruit and citrus fertiliser will help support strong growth and reliable fruiting. Blood Plum is typically partially self-fertile, but you’ll usually see heavier crops if planted with another compatible plum variety nearby.

A great choice for home gardeners wanting a productive, attractive fruit tree that brings both ornamental value in spring blossom and delicious fruit in summer.
