Ivanovka Plum

Boasting a sumptuous deep red hue, a bluish bloom, and a firm, sweet, and aromatic flesh, Ivanovka Plums are perfect for any occasion! Averaging 3-4 cm (1.5") in diameter, the thin-skinned fruits mature from late August to early September. Brought to life by Agriculture Canada in 1939, this excellent variety from Morden, Manitoba offers a delightful flavour for fresh eating and processing.
