Fan trained Plum trees are used against a wall; you will need not less than 180 x 180cm’s for a fan or espalier tree. Please note we do not supply ready trained trees; this Excalibur is a young tree suitable for training yourself, in situ. Such trees usually settle to cropping within 2 or 3 seasons.
Excalibur is a recent introduction which came at about the same time as ‘Avalon’
Excaliber can produce exceptionally fine show-winning large fruits and is a superb dessert plum, well worth growing. Highly recommended.
