About the
Italian :
The Italian Plum has medium to large
fruit. The fruit has a dark purple skin with
yellow-greenish flesh that runs dark wine
color when cooked. Italian plum fruit
separates freely from the pit. These large,
freestone purple plums are very sweet,
perfect for drying, eating fresh, or
canning.
It is one of the most widely planted plum
varieties in the West. This excellent
shipping prune is a heavy bearer and good
for both canning and drying.

Please note:
Your region's climate determines the type of
fruit trees and fruit that will grow
successfully. The climate must be compatible
with the growing requirements of the
selected fruit tree. Some varieties will
even prevail in the harsher Upper Midwest
climates. Most fruit trees require between
130 - 150 frost-free days. If you are unsure
as to how many frost-free days your climate
has, please contact your local county
extension office |
