'Reine Claude Crottée' is a plum tree with a slightly jagged, round, semi-open crown of 4-6 m in height. The stem branches are quite heavy and the crown becomes more open later in life. The tree flowers in the second half of April with lightly scented, white blossoms. 'Reine Claude Crottée' is not a self-pollinating variety, which means that a plum tree of another variety should always be planted in the vicinity. Preferably, 'Reine Claude d'Althan' or 'Reine Claude d'Oullins' is used for this purpose. The plums of 'Reine Claude Crottée' are small, round and greenish-yellow. The pale green flesh is juicy and distinctly sweet. The plums are ready for picking around the end of August-mid-September. They are very suitable for direct consumption or use in pies or purée.
'Reine Claude Crottée' is an old French plum variety dating back to the 16th century. Hardiness zone 6.
