Mini Plum 'ROBUSTO'

Mini plum 'Robusto' is a compact, highly productive plum, ideal for small gardens, yards and even growing in a large terrace pot. The tree does not grow large, making it easy to care for, prune and harvest.

Main advantages

• Small, compact growth - ideal for limited spaces

• Abundant fruiting - often rewards you with regular crops

• Easy to care for - easier to shape the crown and pick the fruit

• Suitable for pots - an excellent choice for a terrace or balcony in a large container

Fruit

The fruits are plum-like and aromatic, suitable for eating fresh and for jams, compotes, baking and freezing. The flavour is generally pleasant and sweet-and-sour, depending on ripeness and growing conditions.

Growing and care

• Location: sunny, warm and somewhat sheltered from wind

• Soil: fertile, well-drained and moderately moist; it does not like waterlogging

• Watering: important during the first year and in dry spells, especially when grown in a pot

• Pruning: light; maintain compact growth and remove damaged branches or those growing towards the centre of the crown

• Wintering: overwinters well in the ground; when grown in a pot, protect the container from severe frost
