Plum ‘Robe de Sergeant’, commonly known as Robe de Sergeant Plum, is a traditional European variety valued for its large, oval-shaped fruit with deep purple skin and rich golden-yellow flesh. It has a sweet, complex flavor with a slight tang, making it excellent for fresh eating, drying into prunes, preserves, and baking. As a freestone variety, the flesh separates easily from the stone, adding to its versatility in the kitchen.
The Robe de Sergeant Plum tree is vigorous, hardy, and highly productive, thriving in sunny, well-drained soil. In spring, it produces a mass of white blossoms, followed by a late-season harvest of flavorful plums. Its combination of ornamental beauty and abundant yields makes it an excellent choice for both home gardens and orchards.
