Italian Prune
Photo by dwest-of-seattle
Classic European prune plum with dark skin and yellow flesh, highly productive.
It has done well and is a classic plum, nothing to complain about. I've grafted many other things to this tree, but I still love the Italian. It produces gobs of plums.

With rain moving in we picked the last of the plums, they are very sweet in the late season

My first Italian harvest where couldn't eat them all fresh and we needed to dry them, still got a lot left on the tree
It is somewhat absurd how productive the Italian Prune is in our region, it's amazing how one tree produces so much fruit. While some of my other plums may beat it in flavor it's hard to beat it in productivity.

It's not a bad plum eaten fresh, I enjoy them, they are delicious dried and I think this variety shines as a dried plum
