Dessert plum. Raised by Laxton Bros.of Bedford in 1903 and introduced in 1910. A Jefferson x Peach (Prune Peche) cross. A medium to large sized oblong plum with a red skin. Very sweet and juicy. Resistant to bacterial canker and will crop heavily. It is partially self-fertile so will set some fruit by itself. Having another same or different plum variety with the same or adjacent pollination group nearby will help cropping.
