Plum 'Marjorie's Seedling' 'Marjorie\s Seedling'

'Marjorie's Seedling' is a highly valued late-season plum, often reaching its peak in September when other varieties have finished. It is a vigorous, upright tree that becomes more spreading with age. The fruit is large, oval, and dark purple with a prominent blue bloom. The flesh is greenish-yellow, firm, and juicy, offering a good balance of sweetness and acidity that makes it versatile for both dessert use and culinary purposes. One of its greatest strengths is its late flowering period, which often helps it escape the damage of early spring frosts, making it a reliable performer in colder parts of the UK. It is self-fertile, meaning it can produce a good crop without a pollination partner, though yield may increase with one. It shows good resistance to diseases like silver leaf. This cultivar is an excellent choice for a productive garden, providing a bounty of fruit just as the autumn settles in.
