APPEARANCE 
Kind of ugly mottled brown on the outside, gorgeous heart shape with gory looking blood red flesh and juice
AROMA 
Very faint grassy fragrance
TEXTURE
Perfectly soft and juicy — like eating a real heart! (assuming here that hearts are soft and juicy – seems like they should be, does it not?)
TASTE 
Perfectly sweet flavor with only the slightest bit of tartness to balance it out
OVERALL
When I first saw this plum I thought it was kind of goofy looking. Being the vain girl that I am, I only noticed the weird browness of it and completely missed the fantastic heartness of it. Then I cut it open and wholy wowzers–I fell in love. October has brought great things to the world, my birthday being one and Halloween being the other. Now I can add dressing up as a witch and carrying one of these around to scare young children. I’ve been dreaming about it all week. mwah ha ha.

SOOOOO delicious! Firm sweet and slightly crunchy. Amazing flavor. Much better than a regular plum.
