Castleton The Castleton prune fruit is of medium size that rarely split. It is one of the best eating prune available. This prune tree is very productive and is relatively small. The prunes are early and are a high quality blue plum, ripening a month before Empress. Dual purpose -- a fine early dessert plum, but also an excellent processing variety. Castleton prunes are freestone; pit does not shatter or split. |
