Yellow plums

What is Yellow plums?

Small to medium plums with golden-yellow skin and sweet, juicy yellow flesh, generally sweeter and less tart than dark plums. Supplied here by the case (colis).

Eaten fresh, baked into tarts, crumbles and clafoutis, poached, or made into compotes, chutneys and jams; their sweetness suits both desserts and savoury accompaniments.

Yellow plums wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for yellow plums in the UK market is about £21.28 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.

That puts today right around where it's been all year — nothing unusual to plan around.

What's behind the price

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on yellow plums can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

British and European summer to early autumn, roughly July to September; imports may extend availability.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

The case suits kitchens cooking in volume; buy slightly firm fruit to ripen at room temperature, and choose unblemished plums as ripe ones bruise easily in transit.
