Prunus Langley Bullace - Late Season

Description of Langley Bullace Trees & Fruit:
The Langley Bullace is quite an odd looking tree. It's branches have a downward pointing habit as they emerge from the trunk, twisting upwards as they grow. Apart from that, it's a vigorous plant that becomes a heavy cropper when mature.
The nearly black fruit are too sharp for most people to eat fresh.

Characteristics of Langley Bullace Trees:

Self-fertile.
Almost black skin under a pale bloom. Green flesh.
Sharp flavour, excellent for cooking & jam.
Good for bottling & canning.
Crops in Late September to October.

Growing Langley Bullace Trees:
Rich soil is important - dig in plenty of good manure and compost before planting. Soil drainage must be good. The more sun your trees get the better your crops will be. Your trees are very hardy and suitable for Scotland & the North.

Pollination Partners for Langley Bullace:
Your trees are self fertile and don't need a pollination partner.

History & Parentage of Langley Bullace:
Bred by Mr Veitch of Langley in 1902 from Farleigh Damson and Early Orleans.
The RHS has given this tree 2 awards (Award of Merit & First Class Certificate).

You will see the Langley Bullace listed as a damson in some places. Some people call it a damson due its deep, purple-black colour, others call it a bullace because of its small size, and it is also known as a wild green gage or wintercrack plum. It is probably most correct to call it a small damson, but this just goes to show that nature does not conform to some human definitions!

Please note that our 2 year old half standard trees and our one year old maiden trees are on St Julien A rootstocks, whilst our two year old bush size trees are on a Pixy rootstock. This is perfect for wire-trained shapes like fans and it can also make a freestanding tree 3 metres high.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
