We're sorry we have now sold out of wild plums this year, we will have more available from March 2025. If you'd like us to update you by email as soon as they become available please do drop us an email via our contact form asking to be added to our wild plum wish list. Alternatively, we have plenty of other fruting plants on our website.
These bushy young prunus domestica 'Pogauner' are commonly known as Damsons and are a super tasty variety. These are young plants but they are vigorous and easy going native plants that will grow on well in a range of soils and positions.
These wild plum trees (prunus myrobalana) make a great addition to the garden producing scented white flowers in the spring and small sweet plums in the Autumn.
- British Grown
- Great for wildlife
- Tasty fruit for making jams and chutneys

This young plum tree will grow on over time and can be trained as a tree, bush or hedge. Wild plum trees (prunus domestica 'pogauner') are native to this country, are very easy to look after and produce pretty blossom in spring followed by small sweet fruit each autumn.
These hardy trees have just been repotted, so will be fine in their plastic pot for a few weeks but they will eventually do best either in a really large pot on a patio or in the ground.
For best results when planting out, dig a large hole and firm your tree in with manure, seaweed or any other rich compost. A wooden stake is also a good idea to help your tree grow tall and straight.
We expect these plum trees to flower for the first time next spring. Commonly seen in southern hedgerows, they can also be pruned in June to form a stand alone tree and the blossom will make a fantastic feature in early spring.
Problem Solving
Underwatering, extremes of temperature and shock can all be the cause of leaf drop in the summer months and need to be remedied quickly. However as these trees are deciduous in the autumn you should expect the leaves to turn a rich yellow colour and drop ready for a fresh flush of growth in the spring. These are hardy trees and are definitely best outside, but once planted out they should establish themselves quite quickly.
