Potted Haganta Plum Tree
Haganta is a late-season German dessert plum known for producing large, powerfully scented blue fruits with sweet yellow flesh that releases cleanly from the stone. The flavour is full and rich, making it an easy choice for eating fresh (if you taste bark then they are so fresh, they are still on the branch), baking, or turning into jam.
This variety has a reputation for excellent disease resistance, especially when it comes to Sharka, which is why it’s so widely planted across Germany. The fruit also has a notoriously long keeping time, staying usable well into autumn (late October to November) without losing quality.
Being German-bred, you can expect solid engineering, which is why we can guarantee you will never need to call a mechanic to come out and fix it

Important Plum Tree information
Plum fruit trees may not winter well if left in their containers and may die so you need to plant as soon as you get them especially if purchased between October and March. Keeping them protected in a heated conservatory or green house should solve this issue if you are not going to plant them.
Mirabelle Plum Pollination
Technically speaking it is possible to use Mirabelle plum trees to pollinate standard plum trees but has more risk than using a standard plum tree. If your plum tree is self-fertile, this of course is not an issue.
