\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Prue<\/strong> is a storied 19th-century indeterminate<\/strong> heirloom hailing from South Portland, Maine (popularized by Dr. Carolyn Male). Famous for its slender, wispy foliage<\/strong>, the vine produces an intriguing array of fruit shapes, ranging from elongated plums and beaked hearts to smooth globes weighing 3.5-9 oz (100-250 g). Gardeners prize it for its dense, meaty texture, low seed count, and intensely rich, sweet old-fashioned flavor.\u00a0Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, mid-season salad variety carrying delicate, wispy foliage.The fruits are elongated, vivid red plums, though the shape varies wildly on the same vine: you get stretched-out fruits with a distinct pointed tip looking like true hearts, right alongside completely round ones. In my greenhouse, weights ranged anywhere from 3.5-9 oz (100-250 g).<\/p>\n

Flavor is very good and deeply pleasant: meaty, juicy, and packed with solid flesh with hardly any seeds. Yield came in well above average. Grown inside the greenhouse with seeds sourced from Valentina Redko.<\/p>\n
