A true garden ornament: a compact tree that produces an abundant crop. Partly self-pollinating and best with other mid-early plums. Suitable fresh, for preserves, baking and wine.

Tree: low-growing with a narrow crown, up to 2.5 m.

Fruit: dark violet, regular shape, juicy, sweet-and-sour flesh, yellow inside with pink veins.

Begins fruiting in the second year after planting. Fruit ripens from the end of August to the beginning of September. Frost- and disease-resistant.
