This Product is Available Now.Originating from the USA, where it is a popular commercial variety, this really is one of the tastiest and reliable varieties of plum that there is. The deep violet-blue skinned fruits cover orange-yellow flesh that is satisfyingly firm, very sweet and juicy.
Flowering fairly late, blossoms are rarely affected by frost; in fact unlike many other varieties of plums it seems to perform better after a cold and wet Spring - making it an ideal variety for more Northern gardeners.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
