Description
The Renaissance plum is a round, usually greenish‑yellow table plum with exceptionally juicy, honey‑sweet flesh—many consider it the finest of all plums. Varieties such as 'Große Grüne Reneklode' often require a pollinator. It is well suited for fresh consumption and for making compote.
Care instructions
Plant the Renaissance plum in a sunny, warm, wind‑protected spot with deep, humus‑rich soil. It is sensitive to drought—water regularly during the growing years and while the fruit is filling. Prune lightly and only after harvest. For self‑sterile varieties, plant a second plum nearby. Harvest fully ripe fruit from August to September.
