Italian Prune Plum

Fruit tree

Prunus domestica 'Italian Prune'

Overview
Also known as Fellenberg, this European plum variety is the gold standard for drying into prunes, but fresh fruits are equally delicious with their sweet, rich flavor and firm texture.

This productive tree is self-fertile and cold-hardy, making it an excellent choice for home orchards seeking a reliable, multipurpose plum variety.
