The 'Belle De Louvain' originates from Belgium and dates back to the nineteenth century; it is a hardy variety and is therefore recommended for planting in Northern Britain. The large fruits are long and oval-shaped; they have dark red-purple skin and pale, yellow flesh. This culinary plum has a relatively dry flesh and holds its shape well when cooked; it is highly recommended for making jam. With this variety being a partially self-fertile cropper, it would benefit from a pollination partner. The ‘Belle De Louvain’ is a good and reliable cropper which can tolerate a variety of situations.
