Prunus domestica {Plum - Coes Golden Drop}

A famous old English plum, Coe’s Golden Drop has clear yellow skin and gorgeous, sweetly-flavoured yellow flesh. It can be kept in the refrigerator for more than a week, which is unusual for plums. Delicious eaten straight off the tree, Golden Drop is great for stewing, pies, pastries and jams. It does need a pollinator to set fruit, such as Green Gage, D’Agen, or Angelina. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter.

Soil: Well-draining, loamy to sandy soil that has a neutral to acidic pH of 6.0 to 6.5.
Conditions: Situate the tree so that it is either southerly or easterly facing in a sheltered area.
Size: Height 2-5m x width 2-5m
