Kirke's Blue European Plum

Introduced by Joseph Kirke of London in 1830, this large, round, dark blue plum is still the finest flavored of all. Each August, trees at the Wisley Royal Horticultural gardens produce incomparable freestone fruit with yellow, drippingly juicy flesh and a fantastic flavor. A challenge to grow successfully, it needs a pollinizer.
