{"product_id":"bensons-gem-plum","title":"Benson's Gem Plum","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThis is one of our first selections—an old, rare, and unique plum seedling found on Bruce Benson’s farm. The mother tree was given to Bruce (who is now in his 80s) by a woman in her 80s over 35 years ago. She grew the tree from seed, and when we asked Bruce what the fruit tasted like, he said, “It will burst with juiciness and get all over your shirt. Excellent flavor.” When we tried it, we couldn’t have agreed more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe plum is indeed very juicy and has a strong berry flavor.
