Plum ‘Coe’s Golden Drop’

A true plum aficionado’s dream, ‘Coe’s Golden Drop’ is a variety of plum that has been producing sublimely flavoured fruit since the 18th century. This English heirloom bears large, oval-shaped plums in rich golden yellow blushed with red spots. The thin skin surrounds sweet, gage-like flesh with hints of sharpness, considered among the finest flavoured of all plums. The free-stone fruits ripen in mid-autumn, ideal for fresh eating, baking, jams, and more. For gardeners appreciating time-tested quality over quantity, this self-sterile cultivar rewards with its decadent taste from late summer into autumn.

Pollination Information: This plum belongs to pollination group 2, so you will need to plant one other different variety of plum to guarantee cross pollination, and a subsequent bumper crop. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 as well.
