Notes

'Blue Tit' plum (Prunus domestica 'Blue Tit') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. 'Blue Tit' is self-fertile and known for reliable, heavy crops. It is grown for fresh eating and culinary use, and ripe fruit has a gage-like flavor. Laxton Brothers bred it in the 1900s, and a sheltered, sunny spot suits it best.

Pairs well with Gala apple, Hummelo betony, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
