\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Perito Italian<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong> Italian heirloom plum. Vines carry distinctive wispy foliage<\/strong>, setting generous clusters of medium-sized, often ribbed red plums (3-6 oz \/ 85-170 g). Featuring dense, meaty walls with remarkably small seed cavities, it is a powerhouse for sauce and canning, though growers note its low acidity can taste somewhat flat-sweet in fresh table salads.\u00a0 Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, tall-growing, mid-season variety with fine, wispy foliage.Fruits are medium-sized red plums, frequently developing distinct fluting and ribs along the sides. They are dense, meaty, and juicy, with tiny seed cavities and very few seeds per fruit.<\/p>\n

Flavor is very good with plenty of natural sugar. For my personal taste, though, it could have used a bit more tart acidity to balance everything out. Because of that, during certain spells in mid-summer, the fruit tasted a bit flat-sweet.<\/p>\n

Yield was very strong, loading up heavy, packed clusters. Grew this outside in the garden bed where the vine reached 5.5 ft (1.7 m) tall. Seeds came from Tatiana Kouchnareva.<\/p>\n
