A dual purpose variety still to be found in south Gloucestershire. Medium sized plums, oval in shape, ripening in mid August with purple to dark red skin with a light bloom and sweet yellow flesh. Stone partially clings when ripe. Also known as Frampton Magnum Plum.
The plum arose in the area of Frampton Cotterell and Winterbourne just north of Bristol hence its synonym and presumably would have been popular in August at the Bristol markets.
