Euro Plum : IMPERIAL EPINEUSE Semi-Dwarf (Marianna 26-24)
$61.95
Those of you who love a solid, meaty, European plum for fresh eating will be blown away by the fabulous, rich flavour of this hard to find, classic prune plum. At least, that was our experience. Back in 1870 it was discovered in an abandoned monastery near Clairac, France, and was soon introduced on this side of the Atlantic. Imperial Epineuse has long been used at the National Fruit Trials in England as the standard of comparison to judge other varieties. The large, handsome, oblong plum has a mottled dark and lighter purplish-red skin covering it's wondrously sweet and flavourful greenish-yellow flesh. The vigorous, spreading tree is moderately productive.

European Product Overview
Plums (Prunus spp.)
Plums come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and flavors. They are possibly the easiest stone fruits to grow. Most varieties are relatively compact with a shrub-like growth pattern. Please note: European and Japanese plums do not cross-pollinate.
European Plums
European plums bloom later than Japanese varieties and have firmer flesh. Good for drying, canning and preserving as well as fresh eating. They are very productive but may take a year longer to begin bearing. We’ve selected the most black knot resistant varieties.
