The 'Blue Tit' produces a good crop of dual-purpose plums which are ready for picking in August. The versatile plums are medium in size and have a bloomy blue-black skin. The flesh of the plums is sweet in taste and yellow in colour; they are primarily enjoyed as a culinary variety, but they make an equally good dessert variety. This variety is a cross between Czar and Greengage and it has inherited the best qualities from each of its parents.
