Prunus domestica 'Marjorie's Seedling' is a reliable and disease-resistant late-season plum variety, producing heavy crops of juicy, dark blue fruits from late September to October. The plums are perfect for making jam and eating straight off the tree.

'Marjorie's Seedling' is in flowering group 3, and is self-fertile, so doesn't need a pollination partner. However, the yield may be increased if there's a compatible tree of a different variety nearby. Flowering in the middle of the blossom season, it can be cross-pollinated with most other plum trees.

For the best flavour, leave plums of Prunus domestica 'Marjorie's Seedling' on the tree to fully ripen before harvesting.
