Blue Tit is a popular English garden dual-purpose plum. It is perhaps easiest to think of it is as a more refined version of Czar, one of its parents. It inherits that variety's reliability, self-fertility and good croppping, as well as its excellent culinary properties.
However its other parent is Green Gage, arguably the best flavored of all plums, and some of that gage-like flavour is apparent in Blue Tit when fully ripe.
Whilst its Czar parentage may suggest it can be grown in almost any situation, it is worth remembering that its other parent is the more temperamental Green Gage, and to get the best out of Blue Tit it helps to provide a more sheltered sunny situation if you can - although Blue Tit is in most respects very reliable and easy to grow.

Bue Tit was developed by the Laxton Brothers nursery in Bedford in the 1930s. Blue Tit is a cross between Czar and Green Gage.
