De Floyon is a distinctive local plum from the Avesnois region of northern France. Its bushy tree produces yellow, juicy and exceptionally aromatic plums in early August, with acidity more pronounced than sweetness. The fruit is excellent when fully ripe. Almost the entire crop can fall within a few days, so the tree needs close monitoring at harvest time.

This plum tree has a bushy growth habit. It has traditionally been propagated from seed, and wild trees can still be found in its area of origin, growing in hawthorn hedges in the bocage landscape of Avesnois-Thiérache.
We produce this grafted plum tree on several rootstocks, which influence the final size of the mature tree. It is available in several tree forms depending on availability.
