The rare and elusive 'Lincolnshire Scad' has been the subject of much renewed interest in recent times following discussion on Radio Lincolnshire's Sunday morning gardening programme, amongst others.

A prolific, yellow and pink, very late, small, wild plum  which is ready in October and last till November most years. It can be eaten fresh when fully ripened on the bush and for all cooking purposes, jams and wine before then.

Now only found in a few old gardens or as forgotten plants in old hedgerows, the Lincolnshire Scad is well worth bringing back from the brink and re-establishing as a valuable Lincolnshire fruit from the past.

Young specimens grown from a Lincolnshire site may become available from Autumn 2012. Stock will inevitably be limited for several seasons.

Please enquire in Autumn 2011 for an update.
