Lizzie plum

I promised I'd report back on this as it's a new variety

I let my Lizzie plum produce a few fruit this year (first year) and they're just starting to ripen (supposed to be early july but weather won't have helped)
Even with all this rain and cloudyness they are very sweet, skin not as bitter as victoria and the flesh tastes just like pear drops!
Main problem I've had is the massive rainfall caused the fruits to swell quickly and split at the bottom then rot, but a few survived to the tasting stage Other than that no problems so far

Another update on this plum, mine is ripening now, beging of July. The brightly red coloured ones are extremely popular with birds. So I have to be quick. The tatste wise I am not impressed so far. If it s fully ripe then its Ok, slightly underripe is bland. I am very tempted to replace it now with something else, while its still young and easy to dig out.
