Prune Plums

Deep blue-purple with smooth skins, these sweet fruits are great for snacking on or adding into baked goods and jams.

The plum has been cultivated since ancient times and was brought to North America by early settlers. They must have been pretty surprised when they arrived in the new world to find plums already growing along the entire East Coast. Turns out, the native people had been enjoying this rich and colourful fruit for hundreds of years.
