Italian is the world’s most recognised prune plum variety, valued for its rich flavour and excellent drying quality. The fruit has dark purple skin and light amber flesh that deepens to a reddish tone when cooked. As a freestone variety, the flesh separates easily from the stone, making it ideal for drying, bottling, baking, and fresh eating.
This is a vigorous, cold-hardy tree that performs well in cooler regions and produces reliable crops once established.
