All pot-grown trees are suitable for planting out in the garden, some are suitable for growing in containers.
Fill in the form below and we will notify you when Herman plum trees are back in stock. If we do not get any more this season you can contact us in the spring to pre-order for next autumn.
Herman is one of the earliest plums available, ripening in mid-July in southern England. It is medium size, with a blue-black color, yellow flesh - similar to its parent, Czar, but with a better eating flavour, and ripening earlier.
Herman is a free-stone plum - the stone falls away easily from the flesh.
Like Czar, Herman tolerates less than ideal growing conditions but if growing for dessert use then a sunnier aspect will help. It was developed to be cold-hardy.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Herman was developed at the SLU Balsgard research station in southern Sweden in the 1970s, a cross between Czar and Ruth Gerstetter.
