Prunus Domestica 'D’Agen' (Plum D’Agen) is a highly regarded deciduous fruit tree known for its sweet and richly flavoured plums, commonly used for fresh eating, drying into prunes, and baking. The medium-sized fruit has a deep purple skin with golden, juicy flesh, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity.
This hardy tree produces beautiful white blossoms in early spring, adding ornamental appeal to gardens before the fruit develops. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is a low-maintenance option for home orchards. While self-fertile, cross-pollination with another plum variety can enhance fruit yields. The harvest period is typically in late summer to early autumn, delivering a generous crop of versatile plums perfect for culinary use.
