Reine Claude d´Oullins is another French variety out of Reine Claude range. It is a greengage with large, spherical fruit of greeny-yellow fruit. It is delicious, sweet and juicy taste, the flesh is attached to the core. It is an early variety that ripens from mid to end of August.
It flowers in May and is self-fertile which means that it fruits abundantly without a pollinator. On the other hand it is a great pollinator for other, not self-fertile varieties. It can be kept smaller by pruning. Young trees should be pruned to help the branches get strong enough to hold the fruit. Fully hardy to -27°C.
