Vigorous heirloom variety produces heavy crops of gorgeous, very dark purple fruits with juicy, yellow flesh and a pleasing spicy-tart flavor. Small to medium plums have firm flesh, making them good for canning, fresh eating and desserts. The clingstone fruits ripen from late August to early September.
