Prunus domestica
Blue skin, golden yellow flesh.

Late Summer. NY H4 open-pollinated. Harold Fogle selection, USDA–Kearneysville, WV, 1998. 

Move over old standbys! This relatively new plum is showing great promise in commercial and home orchards. Blue skin with golden-yellow juicy flesh is very sweet. Clingstone.

Tree yields consistent vigorous crops and has shown strong resistance to black knot. Tested for cold hardiness in Geneva, NY, before its release. For pollination, it benefits from a different European plum (not Stanley, which blooms too late). Z5.

(3–6' bare-root trees)

Additional Information

European Plums

Although European plums are self-pollinating, planting two different varieties will improve pollination. (Will not pollinate hybrid plums.) Mature trees are 15–20', or smaller. Space 20' apart.
