Prunus domestica 'King Billy' (Plum King Billy)

Prunus Domestica 'King Billy' (Plum King Billy) is a robust and highly productive deciduous fruit tree, renowned for its large, dark red to purple plums with sweet and juicy yellow flesh. This versatile fruit is excellent for fresh eating, preserving, baking, and making jams or sauces. Its rich flavour and impressive size make it a favourite among home gardeners and orchardists alike.

The tree blooms in early spring with an abundance of white blossoms, adding ornamental value before the fruit sets. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Plum King Billy is a low-maintenance variety that adapts well to a range of climates. Although it is partially self-fertile, cross-pollination with another plum variety will improve yields. The harvest season typically falls in late summer to early autumn, offering a generous supply of delicious, high-quality plums.
