Identifying Plum Variety

suziovens · September 2019

Hello! I was wondering if any of you could help me identify the plums growing in my garden. I’ve recently moved house and the plums will be ripening soon, but I can’t work out what type they are. Any ideas? Thank you!

It may be a gage rather than a plum (if so, lucky you!) Google "Coe's Golden Drop" which might be close.

Bit big for a mirabelle. The only year the mirabelles next door fruited, they were the size of damsons, but ever so sweet.

My initial thought was Mirabelle, but it did seem a bit big. Is there such a thing as mixed varieties? As in a sort of crossbreed or hybrid?

So you don't think it's this?

Sorry, missed the post! Ooh, maybe? The skin seems brighter on my plums, but it certainly fits the broad description & the late ripening. Thank you!

It looks like a Coes golden drop to me. Large golden plum with some red flecks.

Me too. Golden Drop is a choice variety. Lucky you 😋
