The 'Warwickshire Drooper' produces a heavy crop of highly unusual yellow plums. The plums are medium in size and have pale yellow skin with brown russet patches; the melting flesh is sweet and yellow. This is a dual-purpose variety so it can be enjoyed as a dessert or culinary plum. The tree has a weeping habit, especially when it's weighed down with its crop, and the branches look lovely when they are topped with snow.
