Swan is a traditional English dual-purpose plum, raised by the famous Rivers Nursery in Hertfordshire in the 1880s.
It has a fair sweet flavour for eating fresh when fully ripe, but excels as a culinary plum and is ideal for all kinds of English dessert cookery. For cooking, pick the plums slightly under-ripe.

Victoria is without doubt the supreme English cooking plum, easily identified by its characteristic orange flesh, and the hint of almond flavour it lends to plum jams and patisseries.
