Description
- A very early red plum originally from Japan, with rich red juicy flesh
- Dual purpose – great eaten fresh or to cook, with a sweet flavour said to be like pear drops
- Crops heavily from mid July to August
- Self fertile and reliable
- Early blossom has good frost resistance
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
