Visitor reviews
- 05 Jun 2022 c BuckI planted two of these in South Yorkshire 2 years ago. They are very susceptible to leaf curling midge. My other plum trees varieties aside Mirabelle de Nancy, are not similarly affected and are doing well. To be fair I live on an exposed hilltop, but I expected better.
