The Best Plum I've Ever Had

REDHEART-Early season. Redheart is a medium to large dark red plum covered in a heavy grayish bloom and with bright red, fine grained, sweet and aromatic flesh. the fruit hold well on the tree. The vigorous and upright tree is pollenized by 'Elephant Heart', 'Wickson' and 'Santa Rosa.'

What struck me most about this stone fruit was the vivid color that runs throughout it's flesh. Having grown up eating black plums with dull, yellowish flesh, you can imagine my surprise when I bit through the thin skin of this one.
