Angelina Burdett are round to oval, medium-sized clingstone plums with bluish-black skin.

They have sweet, juicy yellowish-green flesh.

The tree is self-fertile to the point that it will even need some thinning as the fruit is growing. It is ready for harvesting late summer, early fall.

Cooking Tips
Can be used for cooking or eating out of hand.

History
The plum was bred around 1850 (some think 1843) by a Mr Dowling of Woolston, Southampton, England.

Language Notes
Named after a philanthropist, the Baroness Angelina Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), grand-daughter of the banker Thomas Coutts.
