Spoilt for choice with six brand new gardens to visit

A good few Christmases ago now, my Mum bought me a wild plum tree as a present in a gift box.  It has been planted in a large container on the patio ever since and seems to have flourished well. It looks stunning in the garden and is so pretty with its abundance of pale pink flowers, which blossom in early spring. In autumn the deep-red, sweet plums can be eaten straight from the tree! This deciduous tree naturally sheds its leaves every autumn and will remain in its dormant phase all winter. Fresh, new leaves will grow in spring and it’s well worth the wait. This year I have been surprised to find some small fruit growing on it too for the very first time.
