Hello Plum, yes I do have a Lizzie planted five years ago. It had such an intriguing write up in Dobies catalogue!
An interesting plum, rounder and juicier than traditional plums, crops in late July-early August. The flavour is not exceptional (my customers prefer other plums mostly) but the texture and deep red flesh colour are lovely. Growth is slightly less vigorous than my other plums, I still do plenty of pruning in May and June, and thinning of fruit.
