Description
A traditional European plum producing large, oval fruit with deep blue-purple skin and firm golden-yellow flesh. King Billy is renowned for its rich, sweet flavour, reliable cropping and excellent fruit quality, making it an outstanding choice for home orchards and preserving.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. For heavier crops, plant with Coe's Golden Drop, Damson, Angelina or another compatible European plum flowering at the same time.
Harvest: March
Best Uses: Fresh eating, bottling, jams, desserts, baking and preserving.
Position: Full sun in well-drained soil.
Why We Love It: King Billy produces generous crops of beautifully coloured plums with firm, sweet flesh and rich old-fashioned flavour. The fruit is delicious eaten fresh but is equally suited to bottling, baking and preserving. Tasmania's cool climate helps develop exceptional sweetness and colour, while the tree's dependable cropping and versatility make it an excellent addition to any home orchard.
