Brooks, Plum
This popular variety is a sport of the Italian plum and produces very large, sweet and delicious fruit. The tree naturally stays small, only getting to about 10-15 feet tall, which makes it perfect for just about any space. Despite it's small size, Brooks is a vigorous and reliable producer. The dark purple fruit has an attractive yellow flesh and is of high quality. Its great for fresh eating, but if you can't get to them right away, they store quite well. Additionally, Brooks plums are great for cooking with, canning and its one of the best plums for drying. Brooks is a mid-season producer and is hardy to USDA zone 5.
Partially self-fertile (can produce some on it's own, but can produce much more if planted near a different variety of English plum).
