Plum - Yellow-Egg

Yellow Egg Plum - Prunus domestica

Zone 4-8. Full Sun-P.Shade. Perennial. Self-fertile.

Known in England as ‘Pershore Egg’, the Yellow Egg has often been seen only as a cooking plum but when properly ripened on the tree it rivals the sweetness of Gage plums with its delicious honey flavor and perfectly tangy skin. Fruits are egg-shaped, large and beautifully golden yellow inside and out. Very sweet, juicy freestone fruit excellent for dessert, cooking and canning. Best in well drained fertile soils. An excellent heirloom variety that does not need a pollinator.
