A classic Japanese plum variety celebrated for its blood red skin and juicy red flesh. Medium-sized and mid-season ripening, it is highly versatile—perfect for fresh eating, bottling, jams, and jellies. The flavour is sweet, rich, and particularly well-suited to home preserving.

This variety is partially self-fertile, though fruit set is improved with a compatible pollinator nearby. Its reliable cropping, bold colour, and delicious taste make it a standout in both the garden and kitchen.
