Plum varieties

  • Wallis's Wonder is a very late season English plum. It was developed in the 1960s by a Cambridgeshire fruit grower in conjunction with local nursery Simpsons of Fordham, to improve on the well-known but disease-prone Victoria.
  • Warwickshire Drooper Plum
    A good quality dual-purpose yellow plum, with heavy crops.
  • Willingham Gage is generally considered one of the best flavoured of all gages. It arose in Cambridgeshire in the 19th century and is almost certainly a seedling of Old Green Gage, which is widely grown in that area. Excellent for eating fresh or stewed.
