The Empress plum is a popular late-season European prune-type variety (also known as Blue Imperatrice). Ripens very late (mid- to late September, or early October in some regions). Fruits are large in size (typically 1.75–2.5 inches long), oval to oblong or slightly pointed/elliptical shape.Skin is smooth dark blue to deep purple with a powdery bloom; flesh is golden-yellow to greenish-yellow, firm, dense, juicy, and semi-freestone to partially freestone with a sweet, rich, sugary flavor—excellent quality for fresh eating or processing.Versatile for fresh eating, snacking, canning, preserves, baking, cooking, drying into prunes, and long storage (up to several weeks).
"Healthy bare-root plum tree, about 4-5 feet tall with a solid 3/4 inch trunk diameter—perfect size to plant now and enjoy fruit sooner!"
Good pollinators: Stanley (Empress is not self-fertile and requires cross-pollination for reliable yields).
