B.C KO T

Indet., vigorous plants with regular leaf foliage. I got pink plums that match the descriptions of other growers, except they were pink and not red as my seed source described it. The other plant produced larger fruited pinks. Flavor is excellent, both sweet and acidic. It is a keeper, but unfortunately it is not a true 'Rocky'! I need to find another seed source for this variety.
