One of the earliest plums to ripen in New Zealand, with fruit ready to harvest around Christmas. This dark red-skinned and red-fleshed plum is a versatile all-purpose variety—perfect for fresh eating, preserving, or baking. It produces heavy crops of sweet, richly flavoured fruit and is self-fertile, making it ideal for home orchards.
Grafted onto Mariana rootstock, Billington forms a semi-dwarf tree that’s tolerant of poorer soils, offering both resilience and manageable growth. As a Cross variety, it blends the best qualities from its parentage to deliver reliable performance early in the season.
