Dwarf King Billy Plum

Prunus domestica

Features

King Billy is a variety of Plum which has been available in Australia for many years. PlantNet® now makes it available as a dwarf variety of Plum.

It is well known for its medium size fruit and crops lighter than some varieties, however it makes up for it in fruit size. Harvest begins in late January to early February.

A very large dark purple skinned fruit with sweet but slightly tangy, pale green to yellow flesh.

The variety being a prolific bearer will require staking. The variety is medium to high chilling and will require pollination by Angelina Plum or another variety that flowers at the same time.

Ideal for eating fresh, stewing or for preserving. A low maintenance tree for confined spaces because of its dwarfing tree size.

Uses

• Ideal for growing in pots or tubs on the patio or great for small sized gardens.
• Ideal for teaching kids how to look after their own fruit tree.
