Availability: In stock

A classic European plum prized for its exceptional flavour and succulent texture. It produces small, greenish fruit that are incredibly sweet, making it a favourite for fresh eating, preserves, and traditional desserts. Though smaller in size, it’s celebrated for its rich, complex taste—often described as the best-flavoured plum.

This mid to late season variety performs best when planted with a suitable pollinator such as Coe’s Golden Drop, and is well-suited to home orchards where space and flavour are both priorities.
