In My Mini Orchard #2


Mmmmm yum Narrabeen Plum



Was first introduced to these when picking fruit for extra $ while the kids were at school


Red skin with sweet but tangy yellow flesh, freestone, great for eating fresh, stewing & jam.

NB Needs a blood plum for pollination, I originally had a Mariposa but it didn't survive the first summer so replanted with a Santa Rosa.

Last year it set fruit for the first time only to have all the olive sized fruit destroyed by a late frost and huge windstorm.
