Blue Provence
History
The earliest reference is from 1869, with plants sourced from a nursery in Camden Park, New South Wales, Australia (Warrick Examiner and Time, 26 June 1869). It was also listed in Goodman's Fruit Catalogue (1911-1915) and Brunning's Catalogue (1916). It was also noted as growing at the Blackwood Orchard, Coromandel Valley, South Australia, Australia - for which we also have a log.
