The 'Laxton's Cropper' is a late season culinary plum variety which produces a heavy crop of large, blue-black plums. The plums have a juicy yellow flesh and they make a fantastic plum crumble. This variety has the added advantage of being a good keeper; the fruits will hold on the tree until October and will store well once picked. The tree itself is an attractive tree which has a pendulous habit, especially when it is weighed-down with crops, and it looks fantastic when its branches are topped with snow in winter.
