About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Auerbacher’ to be a robust, self‑pollinating house plum with medium‑sized, blue fruit and a fine coating. It ripens in September and yields reliably, even without a nearby pollinator tree. It is a good choice for your low‑maintenance garden, impressing both fresh and preserved.
You will enjoy its sweet‑aromatic, juicy flesh that separates easily from the stone. It is versatile in the kitchen, whether for plum cake, compote, or a clear brandy.
