Properties and uses:
The 'Lovita' plum tree (*Prunus domestica*) appeals with its heart-shaped fruit, featuring purplish-red skin and vibrant red, juicy, aromatic flesh. Selected by the breeder French Fruit Lovers for its flavor and visual appeal, this variety offers a remarkable balance of sugar and acidity; its high sugar content makes it a particularly delicious dessert plum. 'Lovita' stands out for having lower water requirements than most other plum varieties, making it especially well-suited to summer heat and increasingly dry summers. Its late flowering is another major asset: it protects the tree from spring frosts, thereby limiting crop losses caused by late cold snaps.

  • Exceptional flavor: firm, very sweet, and low-acid flesh—perfect for eating fresh or using in pastries.
  • Generous, late harvest: abundant fruiting around mid-September.
  • Excellent storage life: the fruit keeps remarkably well after picking without losing its crunch.
  • Water-efficient: good heat tolerance combined with lower water requirements compared to other plum varieties.
