About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
This early English plum gives you medium sized fruit with a blue bloom from the beginning of August. It is self fertile, so you do not need a second tree nearby, and as a reliable pollen donor it also pollinates other cultivars well. The tree crops early and regularly, but is considered poor at storing: best enjoyed fresh or processed straight away.
Juicy, mildly tart flesh with a refreshing note and rather restrained sweetness. Best straight from the tree; in cake and compote it brings a pleasant freshness.
