About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will enjoy a very late plum from Hohenheim, ripening only from mid-September, the ideal variety to extend the season. It is self-fertile, has firm fruit that stays on the tree and stores and transports unusually well. It is little susceptible to monilia.
Very firm, large fruit with sweet aroma and cleanly separating stone. Because it stays cool for a few weeks, you will still have fresh plums in your basket in October.
