Prunus domestica 'Italian', also known as 'Italian Prune' or 'Italian Plum', is a European plum tree popular for its productivity and exceptional fruit quality. It produces medium-sized, oblong plums with dark blue skin and firm, sweet, and slightly tart yellow flesh that easily detaches from the pit. These plums are versatile, perfect for fresh eating, drying into prunes, making jams, and baking. 'Italian' is self-fertile, making it easy to grow even in the absence of another pollinator. Its spring flowering is abundant, and its tree, vigorous and resilient, adapts well to temperate climates. It is a must-have variety for gardeners looking for a traditional, tasty, and versatile plum.
