About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You’ll enjoy ‚Anna Späth’, a late, self-fertile plum that produces large, dark blue fruit. The fruit ripens only from the end of September, when most other varieties have already been harvested. It yields abundantly and is a good pollinator for other late varieties. If you pick it a little earlier, it will keep for a few days, closing the plum season in your garden.
Juicy, sweet-tart flesh with a strong aroma. As a late variety, it’s welcome for cakes, compote, and the last fresh snack of the year.
