“Billington” is a variety of plum that produces great crops of dark red fruit. The flesh is orange-red, sweet, and tasty. White blossoms adorn the tree in spring and give rise to the fruit in summer. It does not require another variety planted nearby to produce fruit but will benefit from having “Black Doris” or “Omega” planted nearby to improve pollination. This deciduous tree grows with an upright habit to about 6 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though a late frost can reduce yields. This variety is commonly planted for fruit production and makes for a lovely specimen. It can be contained with trimming once the fruit is finished.
