Two Way Plum Flavour Supreme/ Mariposa
The Two-Way Plum Flavour Supreme/Mariposa tree is a unique and space-saving fruit tree, offering the delicious qualities of two exceptional plum varieties grafted onto a single tree. This tree produces both the sweet, richly flavoured Flavour Supreme plums and the juicy, deep red Mariposa plums, making it perfect for fresh eating, baking, and adding a burst of sweetness to jams and desserts. The Flavour Supreme plums are known for their reddish-green skin and sweet, red-streaked flesh, offering a complex, aromatic taste. In contrast, the Mariposa plums have smooth, dark red skin and rich, ruby-red flesh that is juicy and mildly sweet. The Two-Way Plum tree is ideal for home gardeners looking for a diverse harvest without needing multiple trees. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with a harvest season starting in mid-summer for Flavour Supreme and extending into late summer for Mariposa. This dual-variety tree ensures you can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh, homegrown plums throughout the season.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
