Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unusual, medium sized, juicy, firm, yellow-green plums have very delicious honey sweet flavor which is excellent for baking, canning or eating fresh; bright-white flowers in spring make this 10-12' tree a pretty sight before the abundant fruit set; the attractive green color surprises folks who don't think they will be ripe; partially self-fertile, yields are better with another European plum nearby.
