Where to Buy

A good quality early-season plum.

Herman is one of the earliest plums available, ripening in mid-late July. It is medium size, with a blue-black colour, yellow flesh - similar to its parent, Czar, but with a better eating flavour, and ripening earlier.

Herman is a free-stone plum - the stone falls away easily from the flesh.
