The Lincolnshire Scad is an old, but rare, variety of plum.

- orange on one side and yellow the other
- ripen very late - in November
- sweet
A Lincolnshire Scad plum tree:
-
- is actually a tall, thornless, bush
- spreads by suckers
- transplants easily
- has oval leaves - 5cm long & 3cm wide
Lincolnshire Scad Plums are traditionally mixed with apples in a Scad & Apple Pie. Does anyone have a photo of Lincolnshire Scad Plums?

Hi
I’m looking for information on the Lincolnshire Scad and thik I may have found a location – itappears to be a small, wild plum that ripens quite late.
Could you indicate where you obtained your description of it ?
There are photos on Flikr also but looking rather different to the descriptions and my experience in the field so far.
Happy to send you a photo or two of the fruit from a site I visited earlier this month.
Thanks
Shaun
