APPEARANCE 




Outside is a pale green, yellow color that makes me think it is not ripe, but the texture and fragrance says it is, inside is a lovely sunny yellow/orange – gorgeous
AROMA 




Sweet, appealing smell makes me anxious to try it
TEXTURE 




Juicy, great texture, very pleasant bite, almost crisp
TASTE 




Sweet, a little bit grassy in a good way
OVERALL 




The color of the skin made me think it wasn’t ripe but the inside and smell was so appealing that I loved biting into it, even after having tried four other types of plums and pluots. It was a lovely plum and one I would definitely look for again.
