About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
One of the best newer plums from the Hohenheim breeding, ‚Hanita’ is self‑fertile, robust, and has clearly better Scharka tolerance than the home plum. It ripens late August to early September and delivers large, firm fruit with the classic plum aroma. A good first choice if you can plant only one tree.
Sweet and spicy with firm flesh that releases well from the stone. It tastes fresh as convincing as on the plate, a modern variety with the character of the old.
