Prunus domestica ‘Italian’, more commonly known as 'Italian' plum, is a classic European variety, highly prized for its elongated dark blue plums with golden-yellow flesh that is firm, juicy, and intensely sweet. Ideal for fresh consumption, drying, or jams, this fruit tree is distinguished by its naturally rounded habit, moderate growth, and reliability in cold climates, making it an excellent choice for family orchards in Quebec. Its white spring blossoms attract pollinating insects, contributing to its good productivity, especially when paired with another compatible variety, as it is self-sterile. Very hardy, it adapts well to well-drained, fertile soils, with full sun exposure for optimal ripening. The 'Italian' plum remains an essential classic, both for its taste qualities and its versatility in the garden.
