Haganta Bare Root Plum Tree
Haganta is a modern, late-season dessert plum producing large, strong-scented blue fruits with sweet yellow freestone flesh. Excellent for cakes, puddings and jams, and recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability and flavour. Don't use Havana's by mistook because your cakes will taste very cigar-like. The fruit keeps exceptionally well, remaining usable into October and often into November. This means they keep their quality for a long time, not that you have to keep them in an exceptional well.
It is regarded as one of the best recent introductions (compared to other plums that is. We think antibiotics, the Internet and chocolate probably beat some new plum) Noted for being one of the heaviest-cropping varieties with strong disease resistance, including resistance to Sharka. The flowers are white in spring and the tree grows upright with moderate vigour and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. It is partially self-fertile and flowers in Group 3.
History: Developed in Germany in 2005 and widely grown there due to its flavour, cropping reliability and storage quality.
Month of Picking: Mid-September
Type of Plum: Eating
Fertility: This plum is C3 Partially self-fertile You will get plums from this tree without a pollination partner however your harvest will be improved by having another plum tree nearby in pollination group C2, C3 or C4.
Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
Usually no, especially if under 200cm tall. Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.

9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. Corners of houses and fences can also suffer leeching issues so we advise against it.
Plum Bare Root Season
The Plum bare root season is from November to March/early April depending on weather. If you order outside of these times, your order will be held until bare root trees are back in season. If you order before the season starts, you will get "pick of the bunch" as first come first served and the best trees are sent out first.
