An upright, semi-vigorous plum tree boasting dark green oval leaves and a profusion of white blossoms in spring. Come early autumn, it yields an abundant harvest of large, purple-blue scented plums with sweet and juicy yellow flesh. ‘Hagenta’ is a reliable and flavourful variety, partly self-fertile and notably standing out as one of the latest-ripening plum varieties, with fruits ready for picking in September. Next to the ever popular ‘Victoria’ plum, ‘Hagenta’ proves itself as one of the heaviest-cropping plum trees, with its free-stone fruits separating easily from the flesh.
Pollination Information: Though partially self-fertile, this plum will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of plum. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 3, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.
When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Mirabelles and other stone fruits should be pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the flow of sap is slowing down but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
