Green Red plums
Green Red plums are also called watermelon plums and have striking red flesh and a red and green skin. They are distinguished by their unique, high-quality taste. When they are still a bit unripe and crunchy, they are sweet, but also have a subtle acidity. When ripe, the aromatic, dark flesh is velvety soft.
