The 'Violetta' plum tree originates from Sweden and is a good choice for high-quality, consistent cropping. The plums are above average in size and have dark blue skin and sweet yellow flesh; the flavour is superb and they make the perfect summer snack. This dessert variety also has the added advantage of being self-fertile, so it is a good choice for a garden that only has room for one plum tree, although yields will be increased with a pollination partner.
