Large, oval, dark purple-blue plums that are blotched black and have well-flavoured, juicy yellow flesh. Becoming quite sweet when fully ripe, it's mainly used for culinary purposes but can also be eaten fresh or used as a dessert fruit.
The plums can be harvested from the end of September right through to early March, keeping for up to a month after being picked if refrigerated. A popular, heavy-cropping deciduous variety with a vigorous, upright growth habit and a resistance to plum bacterial canker.
Pollination group C. Although self fertile, it will benefit from having a pollination partner nearby, such as:
Damson insititia 'Merryweather'
Plum 'Victoria'
Plum domestica 'Czar'
Gage 'Oullins Gage'

Buying Fruit Trees/Bushes from Jacksons Nurseries
Our trees might be Freshly Potted and the root system may not be fully established, and loose soil may occur when unpacking.
Unlike many garden centres, supermarkets and some nurseries here at Jacksons Nurseries we sell the majority of our stock all year round. Our stock is for the most part grown outdoors making it far hardier than those grown under glass and/or only sold ‘In Season’.
Here at Jacksons Nurseries we would favour a hardy outdoor grown plant every time. They are far less likely to suffer from the shock of being planted in colder conditions and they will begin to establish more rapidly the following spring. This can mean that they don’t look like a ‘picture perfect’ plant when purchased out of season but with the correct care and a little time you’ll have a wonderful plant to enjoy for many years to come.
