Showy clouds of pure white blossom cover the bare branches in mid-Spring, standing up well to changeable weather and setting a prolific crop without needing a pollination partner. By early September, the branches are laden with medium-to-large, oval, dark purple-blue plums dusted in a delicate silver bloom. Inside, the golden-yellow flesh is firm, sweet, and rich with juice, parting cleanly from the stone. It is delicious eaten fresh straight from the tree, but because the flesh holds its texture and high sugar content when heated, it is equally prized for tarts, bottling, and traditional drying into prunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSheltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Any reasonably well drained\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick:\u003c\/b\u003e Early to mid September\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep:\u003c\/b\u003e Keeps for up to 1-2 weeks in a cool, well-ventilated spot or refrigerator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness \u003c\/b\u003eFully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollination:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-fertile.
