Plum ‘Herman’

The early-ripening ‘Herman’ delivers an abundance of delicious dual-purpose plums ideal for eating or baking. This freestone variety bears medium-sized plums with deep purple-black skin covered in a pale blue bloom and the golden flesh inside separates easily from the stone to offer a sweet, juicy flavour with notes of honey. Ripening in mid-July in southern England, ‘Herman’ is a self-fertile variety that precedes other plums by 2-3 weeks.
