The Plumcot: Simply Sensational!

In this vlog we are harvesting the fruit from our Plumcot tree as we enter autumn. The harvest is again a meagre one, but at least it is bigger than last year. The Plumcot fruit is utterly delicious, but in England the only way to try it seems to be to either plant a tree or know someone who has a tree! We planted this tree 10 years ago, and we are still waiting for a big crop! Every spring small birds, particularly great tits, seem to enjoy picking off the little fruit buds, then as the year goes by bigger birds like pigeons continue to cause damage. Then, when the weather warms up the tree attracts swarms of greenflies. All this takes a toll on the size of the harvest, and next year I might well throw a net over the entire tree in spring. So, we enjoyed eating some fruit straight off the tree, and even had enough to preserve some in jars! Plumcots are in my opinion one of the very nicest fruits that can be grown outside in England. I’m always surprised that the fruits are not much more widely available. The trees are easily obtained, if you have room for a small fruit tree I would highly recommend getting one! #kitchengarden #allotmentgarden #foodsecurity #growyourownfood #homegrownproduce #homegrownfruits #backyardfarming #backyardhomesteading #healthyfood
