Trees of Antiquity snippet…
also aka on Stark Bros. website.
Not many mentions of Fellenberg on this site… or Italian plums for that matter… MrsG is one of the few to report.
Sold at alot of nurseries but not very popular to talk about… or grow?
Nick does a good taste test… seems like a good one in the PNW or wherever Euros fare well.
There is a Late Italian (Canada only?)
and Early Italian (aka. Richards?)
DWN says its sweeter (but earlier).
aka. Early Fellenberg?
This ‘Plum Picks for NY’ gives much better review of Early Italian than Italian.
FWIW- Fellenberg name meaning/history.
‘Italian’ found in Lombardy (Italy) in 1800, imported by Mr. P.E. von Fellenberg to Germany
In those days if you liked something you just put your own name on it i think.
