When to plant plum (european and japanese) in Delamere
- Plant seedlings: mid Jan to early DecDelamere area, cool Mediterranean
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Delamere. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A tough, productive stone fruit that does well across Adelaide, with Japanese plums ripening in summer and European plums in late summer and autumn. Japanese plums need less winter chill and suit the plains best. Many varieties need a pollination partner of the same group, so check before you buy.
