Prunus domestica ‘Nana’ – Dwarf Plum Tree

Description

A compact, beautifully formed dwarf plum tree that brings the pleasure of home-grown fruit to even the smallest of spaces. Prunus domestica ‘Nana’ has all the charm of a full-sized plum tree — the delicate spring blossom, the lush summer foliage, the satisfying crop of fruit — wrapped up in a tidy, manageable size that works perfectly in containers, small gardens, and courtyard spaces.

At 90–100cm tall and well established in a 5L pot, these trees are ready to go straight to work. Pretty enough to earn their place as an ornamental, productive enough to keep you coming back for more.

Why we love it

• Full plum flavour from a genuinely compact, patio-friendly tree
• Beautiful spring blossom — a real seasonal highlight
• Neat, manageable size — perfect where space is limited
• Well established and ready to fruit in the right conditions
• A practical and pretty addition to any outdoor space

Best for

• Patios and courtyard gardens
• Small gardens and compact outdoor spaces
• Productive kitchen garden displays
• Container growing and patio fruit collections
• Anyone who wants home-grown fruit without a large tree

Growing conditions

Prunus domestica ‘Nana’ thrives in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. It grows well in containers with regular feeding and watering through the growing season. A self-fertile variety, so no need for a pollination partner — though fruiting is often improved with another plum nearby.

What makes this batch special

These trees have been selected for their strong, upright form and healthy establishment — arriving in good condition and ready to settle into their new home quickly. At 90–100cm, they already have a solid framework in place and are well on their way to producing their first crop.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook

Dwarf fruit trees are one of the smartest things you can grow in a small space — and this plum is one of the best. The blossom alone is worth it in spring, and when the fruit comes it feels like a real reward for very little effort. Keep it well watered in summer, give it a feed in spring, and it will look after itself. Perfect for a pot on a sunny patio or tucked into a small border where a full-sized tree just wouldn’t work.
