Avalon plum was raised at Long Ashton Research Station near Bristol UK in 1985. It has been grown
comercially on a small scale in the UK. Avalon is one of the best mid season English eating
plums.
An attractive large round, slightly oval fruit. Dark red skin turning purple with a blue bloom where
exposed to the sun. The flesh is a deep golden yellow, almost apricot colour. It is soft, juicy and
sweet. The skin ins delicate but with a distictive sharpness which adds to the flavour. The stone is
semi-clinging.
Fairly vigorous tree without any serious disease problems. It crops well and the quality of the
fruit is consistently good. An excellent garden variety.
