Choosing the best varieties of plums

Among gardeners there are no people who would not like to get a harvest of juicy and sweet crops. Plums can be grown in various regions of Russia.But to succeed, you need to clearly understand their characteristics and understand the specifics of individual varieties.

Botanists consider plums to be a group of stone fruit plants, but they suffer more from cold than other fruit trees. The period of fruiting begins at 3 or 4 years after planting. Even the initial harvest with the appropriate rate of agrotechnics is impressive - one tree gives at least 15 kg of fruit. Relatively good fees have been going on for about two decades, but the best results are no longer repeated, and the yield decreases year by year.

Plums are characterized by simple leaves similar to a lancet. The perimeter of the sheet is ideally even or finely serrated; the flowers are pink or white, each of them is formed by five small petals. You can see the umbrella inflorescence, but this is rare, as single flowers are more characteristic. The color of the fruit varies widely: described and purple, and yellow, and blue drupes. The crown of the tree is spreading, in some cases stretched upwards and formed by straight vertical branches.

Some species in the genus of plum have thorny branches. Wild ancestors of cultivated varieties have almost disappeared from the face of the earth. It is noted that the heterogeneous varietal structure of the garden increases the yield. The total duration of tree development can reach century. Most roots are located at a depth of 0.2 to 0.4 m.

According to the biological classification, plum is a member of the pink family, which also includes:

• Apple tree;
• raspberries;
• Rowan;
• peach;
• the Rose;
• almond;
• cherry and many other useful plants.

About such a variety as "Peach" plum, you can hear many kind words. And not only about the taste, but also about the decorative parameters. Large fruits can be obtained in August, they differ juicy taste, the average between sweet and sour sensations. The variety is bred in France, is considered one of the best options for canning. The tree reaches medium height, different ruby ​​tone foliage.

Since the variety is barren, pollinators should be located nearby. Although the first crop is harvested in the sixth summer after planting, stable production of fruits is possible only after 15 years. Mature drupes do not crumble, the weight of one fruit reaches 70 g. The plum of this species is distinguished by some capriciousness and requires surely solid lighting with protection from the winds.

Part of gardeners, having read the description of the reviews, chooses the variety "Eurasia 21". For him there is no significant danger of winter in the middle lane. Large and tasty fruits are obtained that can last for a long time. The tree reaches a height of 6 m. Typical are wide crowns and branches spread far away, gray bark.

Abundant flowering, flowers are relatively small, tying fruits can reach 50 g. Maturity occurs in the last days of July, and the harvest ends approximately on 20 August. Recommended planting in light soils formed by clay or medium loams. The wind is bad, can break a plant.

Such a group of varieties as “Renklod” has become widespread. The reason for its popularity is not only in its excellent taste, but also in its elegant appearance. This type of plums was first obtained in the XVI century in France, but has long gone beyond its limits and is grown in various states. The number of zoned varieties is so large that it will not be possible to describe everything. At the same time be sure to mention the original variety - "Renklod Green".

In Russia, this plum grows mainly in the subtropics. However, resistance to cold is sufficient for gardeners to afford experiments even in colder places.Claims to the soil are minimal, but excessive moisture is very bad. Harvesting begins in the middle of August; the first fruits can be obtained in the fifth year. Breeding stones does not threaten the loss of the main features.

The variety "Kolkhoz" was obtained by Michurin himself and is intended primarily for the European part of Russia. Judging by experience, the plant confidently survives at a temperature of 35 degrees. But mechanical damage is contraindicated, even minor wounds heal for 1 or 2 years. The upper point of the tree rises to 2 m, the ripeness of fruits begins in the middle of August, maximum until the end of the second decade.

Plums cannot be heavier than 20 g. The problem is susceptibility to fungal infections. The “Soviet” subtype entered culture in the 1980s. The conditions of the central chernozem region are best suited for it. The tree tolerates frost at 30 degrees.

The disadvantage is not too neat appearance sparse crown. But this only applies to aesthetic perception. A small number of leaves contributes to the accelerated development of the fruit.

"Volga Beauty" - a variety bred in 1939 near Kuibyshev E. P. Finaev. In connection with the aggression of German imperialism, varietal tests were carried out only from 1955, and another 10 years later the variety was adopted in. The fruits of the "Volga Beauty" develop on the bouquet shoots. The variety is ranked as a dessert group, it blooms in the second decade of May, and you can shoot fruit on August 10-25.

If gardeners need a late variety, they should pay attention to the “Memory of Timiryazev”. It has been used for more than 50 years, the height of the trunk reaches about 3 m. The fruits are oval in shape, weighing on average 20-30 g. The crop is suitable both in fresh and in processed form. Problems with storage and transportation should arise.

“Memory of Timiryazev” gives the first fruits for 4-5 years after disembarkation. On average, one tree per year can produce up to 35 kg of crop. Resistance to droughts is average, the probability of damage to the main diseases of plums is small. It is advisable to choose areas with light fertile land. The quality of drainage in the ground is very significant.

The demanded variety is “Tula black”, which is consciously cultivated for making high-quality drinks. It is not known for sure who, where and when brought this variety. The height of the tree varies from 250 to 450 cm. The oblong leaves are painted in dark green color, the mass of fruits is 15-30 g. On the peel wax bloom is clearly manifested.

Getting fruits from “Tula black” is stable, for 13 out of 17 years plum allows you to harvest. Although the cold and the impact on the culture is negative, yet it is easily restored. But dry periods for the plant is extremely destructive. Probably the fall of unripe fruit. The resistance of the fruit rot and the nodule to an acceptable level.

Quite good results are given also by the “Altai Jubilee” plum. This variety is more common than other middle-early plant varieties. Immunity to frost allows landing confidently in the north of Kazakhstan and in most parts of Eastern Siberia.

Fruit picking is possible only for 3 or 4 years from disembarkation, yields reach 40 kg, but violation of the principles of care leads to irregular gathering. Plum has a mass of 14-16 g, the sugar concentration does not exceed 12%. Fruits are versatile. Bone klasterosporiosis does not affect this variety. But the danger is vyprevanie, moth, semyaeda. The ability of the fruit to be transported is limited.

"Bogatyrskaya" plum really affects all sizes. The variety was bred in the Nizhne-Volzhsky Research Institute, adapted to the Volga Federal District. Trees grow average in size, with not too dense crown. The leaves are green, dark, oval configuration, slightly curved upwards. The size of their average trunk and branches are painted in gray.

“Bogatyrskaya” is self-fertile, for the 5th year it is already possible to harvest. Fruit picking is stable, occurs in August. After ripening, the fruit will not burst even with heavy rain. About maturity shows almost black color with a slight touch of wax and developed fruit seam. Preferably fresh consumption. You can store this type of plum in cool rooms for up to 21 days.

The "Manchurian" variety is distinguished by an average rate of maturation. The variety was obtained by selecting Chinese plum seedlings in the early 1920s. During the post-war period it is cultivated in Western Siberia, in the Urals, in the Far East. Attempts to use in the middle lane, undertaken in the 1930s, ended in failure due to biological limitations. Plum leaves are small, no longer than 105 mm and no wider than 40 mm.

The shape of the sheet resembles an ellipse or lancet. Plate leaf dark green color, flowering occurs very early. The size of the fruit is the largest among all varieties of Ussuri origin. Agronomists advise not to delay with cleaning, because mature fruits are prone to shedding. With one-year planting, fruiting begins on the 3rd year of cultivation. Planting such a plum is imperative to protect against moniliosis and decay. The recommended pollinator is Manchurian prunes. Drought tolerance will satisfy any gardener.

As for the Kroman plum, it is bred in a completely different region - in Belarus. The official admission to cultivation in Central Russia was given in 2002. The tree is round and sprawling, of moderate height.

A distinctive feature of "Kromani" is not only covering the fruit with a wax coating, it also covers thick ribbed shoots. Fruits weigh up to 40 g, and yellow flesh hides under the dark red skin. Removing the bone out is not difficult. Harvest can be applied fresh or canned. There is no need for pollinating trees, as well as a special treatment against kleasterniosis.

As for the variety "Nika", it belongs to the medium-rate development group. The mass of fruits averages 38.5 g, but if the harvest is small, this is partially offset by an increase in individual fruits up to 50-60 g. Wax plaque is bluish, thick; fully matured pulp becomes intermediate in color from brown to yellow. Mostly "Nika" is consumed fresh, in addition, from the plums of this variety can be obtained:

• juices with pulp;
• preserves;
• jams

Maturity is reached late, flowering occurs a little earlier. Because of the bad weather that prevents pollinators from flying, you may experience a decrease in the number of fruits. Even against the backdrop of a harsh and harsh winter, the likelihood of frosting is low. For the entire period of use of the variety, there were no cases of infection with monocotitis and monilioses. Polysigmosis is unlikely.

The variety "Smolinka" was bred in 1990. The tree of this plum can stretch up to 5 m, forms a round or pyramidal crown, there are few branches at the top. The main part of the fruit has a mass of 35 g, the greatest severity of the fruit reaches 60 g. The stone is not too large, it separates poorly. Fruit picking can be started at 4 years after planting.

A typical harvest is 20 kg, with a well-formed weather, the result will be twice as high. Fruiting periodically, that is, you can not pick berries every season. Frosty winter is bad, drought is tolerated only if the deterioration of the weather is not too pronounced. Klesterosporiosis is not dangerous.Container saplings are recommended to be transferred to the free land at their discretion, and for plants with open roots the beginning of spring is optimal.

"Smolinka" necessarily requires the presence of nearby plums of other varieties, since the plum itself otherwise the crop will not give. The intervals from one tree to another should be 4 m, while the distance between rows should be exactly 3 m. Strict adherence to the principles of agricultural engineering can ensure fruit bearing up to 25 years in a row. Summer watering is regular, at least 3 times a month at regular intervals.

"Blue gift" - one of the samoplodnyh varieties created specifically for growing in Russia. It was registered only in 2001 and zoned for the center of the European part. The advantage of the breed for a large garden is the compactness of the trees and the stable production of a large collection of fruits. Stone separates easily, which further increases the commodity attractiveness of the plant. "Blue gift" is a very important honey plant of the last period of spring.

The weakness of the culture is manifested only in the fact that it gives insufficiently large fruits. Plant height can reach 3 m. Crohn is relatively thick, in the form of an oval and raised upward due to skeletal branches. Fruits appear for 4 year in the third decade of August.

The yield from one plant - up to 35 kg, the harvest is suitable:

• for immediate use;
• frost;
• complex processing;
• in dried form.

Cover the "Blue Gift" from the wind should be securely. But at the same time the constraint of powerful crowns of neighboring trees can lead to a drop in yield.

If all the positive qualities of this type of plums for gardeners are unimportant and they want to enjoy large fruits, the Giant variety will come to the rescue. This variety was created in the United States at the end of the XIX century. Initially, it was used by farmers in North America, but soon the merits of such a plum were appreciated on the other side of the ocean. The variety is considered resistant to winter and suitable for cultivation even in the northern regions of Russia. The only requirement is a special shelter. No pollinators are required, plum blossoms in the last two months of spring.

Fruits can be harvested 3 years after planting, and a year later more than 40 kg of fruit will be removed from one plant. Despite the resistance to the harsh weather of northern latitudes, it is better to grow this plum in the south, where it will be the sweetest. The mass of fruit is 45-60 g, it is always painted brightly in pink and red tones. The density of the pulp does not prevent it from being juicy, but there is another problem - the difficulty with the separation of the stone. You can transport and store the fruit without any problems.

Cuttings of the “Giant” plum are capable of settling down well on other sorts of wood or even plum. Recommended spring planting, allowed and compacted placement (with a step of 250 cm). Planted plum preferably in the second month of spring, as soon as the buds open. Preparation of the pit is made a couple of weeks before transferring seedlings to open ground. Strengthen resistance to cold by whitewashing the trunk and branches.

Drought resistance is frankly weak. Disease prevention implies active watering, but does not lead to the appearance of a "swamp" on the site. "Giant" plum can get moniliozom. You can prevent this by spraying it before flowering; Subsequent treatments are carried out twice a month.

A weighty competition to the American guest can make a modern "Bolkhovchanka", which entered the state register in 2006. The plant is zoned for the Central Black Soil Region. Its solid yield and ability to endure cold up to 30-35 degrees is noted.Fruiting is stable, the threat of collision with diseases and pests is small. But it is necessary to take into account that “Bolkhovchanka” is self-fruitless and does not have a beautiful type of fruit.

The tree can not boast a great height. It grows to a maximum of 2.5 m, at the top is a spherical crown with thick leaves. You can wait for the fruit for 4 or 5 years. Flowering occurs from 1 to 15 May. The mass of the fetus reaches 40 g, it has a greenish color with burgundy or even brown tint.

Fruit maturity comes no earlier than August 15th. It is quite easy to separate the bone from the pulp in the Bolkhovchanka. Transportation of the harvest is quite possible. Recommended soil - turf, loam. Plum can be landed on peatlands, only previously drained and treated with lime. The indentation between the seedlings is 3 m, since the adult bushes are covered with wide crowns.

The apricot plum was developed by American breeders led by Floyd Zeiger in the 1990s. But it was only the finale of the work begun three decades earlier. The hybrid is able to withstand frost up to 30 degrees and even slightly lower. But the thaw in the middle of winter affects the plant very badly. The yield in the first seasons is low, gradually increasing. Flowering occurs in April, the time of harvest is July and the first days of August.

The tree grows to 2.5 m. The fruits have a mass of from 30 to 70 g, they are formed into an oval. Skin color can be:

• yellow;
• mixed green and pink;
• purple color.

The skin is covered with a weak touch of wax, the taste is delicate, the flesh is saturated with fibers. In some cases, there is a finish like an orange. Plucked unripe fruits are capable of ripening. Fulfilling the requirements of agriculture allows you to collect up to 50 kg of fruit from a tree. They can be used:

• fresh
• upon receipt of wine;
• in baking;
• in desserts;
• in jams and compotes;
• for juice.

As with all hybrids, the Apricot plum must be carefully monitored for the first few years after planting. Planted seedlings relies in early spring. This period is optimal for thorough rooting and consolidation of the plum. Transplantation into free ground in autumn is permissible only where the climate allows. It requires a thoroughly lit and heated area, not prone to drafts and folded with fertile, well-transmissive air.

Returning again to the varieties introduced in the post-war years, one can pay attention to the “Skorospelka red”, which has been entered into the state register since 1947. The variety has been zoned for the north-west of the European part. Trees reach 3.5 m in height, the width of the crown is the same, the bark is colored gray or brown. Fruits are transient in shape from circle to oval or similar to an egg, their mass is not more than 15-20 g. The expression of the wax deposit is moderate, it has a bluish tint.

The taste of the fruit is quite good, gives a cross between a sour and a sweet sensation. The aroma is weak, ripened fruits are showered. For canning, "Fast Red" is not very suitable. Putting the collected plums in a cool room, you can save them for 20-25 days. Flowering occurs from 15 to 31 May.

Self-fertility is limited. Under good conditions, one tree gives 25-40 kg of fruit, it is able to survive the frost up to 38 degrees. Important: the buds of flowers are not sufficiently resistant to cold, especially its cumulative effect (together with previous frosts) closer to the end of winter is especially pronounced. The risk of collision with pests is relatively small, the greatest danger is aphid.

Plum "Kabardinka" produces fruits up to 50 g, which can be put on the table since the middle of July. Rapid ripening does not detract from the merits of the culture, moreover, it has an excellent taste and pollinates itself.To obtain a variety, we had to cross the turn with cherry plum, borrowing, respectively, cold resistance and taste. The appearance of miniature white dots is a variant of the norm and should not frighten gardeners.

Formation of the crown can begin at 3 or 4 years. “Kabardinka” does not tolerate severe frosts. More precisely, the plant itself has every chance to survive them, but after that it is necessary to forget about the harvest completely. There is also a high risk of losing in bad weather during the growing season.

For those who want to find a plum, which would even look unusual, the Egg Egg variety will do. Its name is not accidental, it is given in a geometric shape plums. There are three subtypes - red, yellow and blue. The yield is consistently at a decent level, the adult tree gives from 30 to 60 kg. The main use is raw; plum is equally resistant to cold and drought, to most pathologies.

The blue view reaches a great height (6 m), ends with an oval sprawling crown. But the plums themselves are relatively small, not larger than 35 g. They are painted blue and have a superficial white patina. The taste pleases the most demanding gourmets, the density of the pulp is average. Thin dense shell provides good transportability.

Fruiting blue "Egg" begins at 4 or 5 year. Special measures should be taken to prevent kleasterniosis, which often occurs in this species. Red appearance has only one difference, namely in color. Yellow plum ripens in the first half of September, under adverse conditions, maturity is achieved by the middle of the month. Its main use is as a raw material for compotes.

Probably the appearance of rot with prolonged heavy rainfall. "Egg yellow" plum has a pronounced sour taste that not everyone likes. If it is exactly sweet varieties that are needed, then the next candidate for the garden is next in line - the Red Meat variety. It is found in quite different localities and can reach 5 m in height. But most of the trees do not grow more than 3 m.

A prerequisite for the successful cultivation of this variety is the presence of pollinators. 20 kg of fruits can be removed from one tree per season. A single fruit has a mass of from 20 to 30 g, the collection can be made already in the third year of cultivation. The weakness of the "Red Meat" plum is the insufficient resistance of the trees themselves and their buds to the destructive effect of cold weather. In addition to klyasterosporioza, the danger for the plant is the expiration of gum.

Variety "Souvenir of the East" - is a plum, which reaches medium height and covered with loose bark. The plant is characterized by moderately long branches, small flowers, excellent characteristics of fruits in both culinary and commercial terms. Each fruit has a strongly pronounced strip on its side. Achievement of technical ripeness is judged by the orange color, and in ripe fruit for consumption, the skin is of dark burgundy color. The name corresponds to the content - "Souvenir of the East" is perfectly going through dry moments, while it copes well with frosts.

An adult tree can produce 30-50 kg of fruit, because it forms a mass of ovaries. The problem with the variety is that the dormant period ends too quickly. This leads to the fact that the crust can scour and fall off.

To complete the review of modern varieties of plums is appropriate on the "Nezhenka". This is a Chinese by origin variety developed in the GNU VNIISPK. The crop ripens early, in the tenth of August. Resistance to winter is quite satisfactory, the first fruits can be obtained at season 3 or 4 after planting annual seedlings.The self-fertility of the “Nezhenka” is partial, as is the resistance to kleasterosporia. The mass of red rounded fruit is about 30 g, inside is hidden yellow flesh.

After reviewing the best varieties obtained in different countries, it is already much more confident to approach the choice of varieties suitable for a particular area. To grow a plum, for example, in the Leningrad region is very difficult. But if you make the right decision, you can significantly simplify the subsequent work, in addition to achieving excellent results. The main difficulties in this region are:

• long cold winters;
• unpredictable frosts in spring;
• excessive summer moisture (contributing to the development of fungal lesions and complicating pollination).

Therefore, it is required to use only those varieties of plums that tolerate cold, are hardy to various negative factors and give fruit early. The variety "Ochakovskaya yellow" gives relatively low trees (up to 2.5 m), each such plum requires a pollinator. Competent agricultural technology allows to obtain abundant harvests. The fruits themselves are medium in size, differing in uneven color and excellent taste, as if in molasses. Before the onset of cold weather plant will have to cover.

If neither this variety, nor the “Renklod collective farm” and “Volzhskaya Beauty”, which were previously disassembled, do not suit gardeners, you can try to grow the “Gift to St. Petersburg”. It is a hybrid with excellent resistance to cold, which is quickly restored after any deformation. Fruiting takes place in the third year, the plant gives a bright orange fruit, different juiciness. Good results are also promised by the use of the “Orlovskoy Dreams”, which grows to just 2 meters. The variety is self-fruited, and the harvest is also carried out in the third year of life.

By default, the yield of the variety is average, but if cross-pollination is carried out, it grows. Agronomists note that both shoots and buds are resistant to frost.

The “Oryol Dream” is reliably protected from such a formidable danger, like klyasterosporioz and infection with pathological fungi. Fruits are large, the length of each fruit is more than 40 mm, weight from 40 g.

Another option that you can safely try in the northwestern region is the “Etude”, which is distinguished by a round crown and large, rich-blue fruits. Resistance "Etude" to adverse factors will satisfy the majority of farmers.

As for "Alyonushka", this plant is extremely popular among farmers of the north-west of the Russian Federation. Characteristic features of the variety are a combination of a small height and a pyramidal crown of medium thickness. "Alenushka" gives large fruit weighing about 40 g, painted in thick red tones.

A number of plum varieties were developed by breeders for the conditions of the Urals and Siberia. A vivid example is the “Pearl of the Urals”, growing to 350 cm and yielding 18 kg of fruits from one tree. The expression of wax coating is small, the skin is elastic. At 1 m below is the "Ural Yellow" with directly growing branches. This culture has a decent resistance to cold, but the maximum yield is even less - only 15 kg.

The maturity of the “Ural yellow” plum comes in the first days of August, a bitter taste is not typical for it. The bone is released quite simply. Ideal pollinators are other varieties of the Ussuri family, flowering occurs synchronously with them. Another option - "Kuyashskaya" plum, characterized by excellent resistance to winter and large berries of medium gravity (23 g). To clean the bone attached to the bone is hard.

Shershnevskaya culture forms a transitional crown from an oval to a circle, and winters quite well.During the vegetative season, up to 20 kg of dark red tones can be harvested, each fruit averaging 15 g, it ripens in the last third of August. Collected fruits can be left in the room for a week, without fear of damage. There is no unpleasant bitterness, but there is a sweet and sour taste. Ailinskaya ripening by half of August is capable of producing 15 kg of fruit per tree.

Fruits resemble eggs that are elongated in length; each of them has an average weight of 13 g. “Uvelskaya” culture is different with minimum requirements for pollinators, but at the same time it is important to keep in mind its specific sensitivity to aphid and clotting. "Mountain large" allows you to harvest around August 15, mainly intended for fresh consumption. Also, this plant is grown for compotes and sauces. Resistance to frost and other adverse effects of the winter period will delight gardeners.

Among the dessert varieties, Mikhalchik attracts attention. Large plums painted in cowberry color. There is not only unusually sweet taste, but also impressive juiciness. Formed compact tree. The latest achievements of breeding were embodied in the “Krasnoselskaya” plum, the developers of which were able to achieve unique winter resistance.

Judging by experience, the frost is at 40 degrees in cold blood, after which the fecundity of the trees does not decrease. Tasters focus on the fact that the "Krasnoselskaya" can not detect the taste of bitterness or tart notes. Juiciness will satisfy any gourmet. Plum "Podgornaya" gives a unique chance to compensate for the shortened Siberian summer.

On the branches, yellow fruits ripen by 10–15 g each by July. Ahead of the schedule does not mean bad taste, watery structure. Culinary quality at a height, sour tone is present, but it is quite difficult to notice.

Another shade of yellow (amber) is characteristic of the “Golden Niva”. This plum variety produces fruits a little more - up to 20 g. The flesh is invariably tender and juicy. Consumers celebrate a balanced taste, and for farmers the variety is a good opportunity to get a harvest in the first days of August. The plant is going through the winter confidently.

Even better, however, manifests itself in the cold period of the year "Gift of Chemal." This variety, developed in Altai, is distinguished by its medium growth and relatively flat top. The first fruits can be removed for 3 or 4 years. Fertility is quite high, fruit up to 15 g covered with dark orange peel. On it you can see the bright blush and not too pronounced wax coating. Sometimes Chemal plums are confused with apricots, they are so similar.

“Pride of the Urals” justifies its name in the first days of August. It was then that gardeners began to harvest red and very large fruits with amazing taste. The rare combination of deferred flowering and early maturity makes it possible to guarantee powerful yields even in an unstable climate zone. The probability of frost in the growing season is very small. If you need a variety that ripens early, then you should take a closer look at Sinilga.

It gives large, up to 40 g, fruit, painted in blue and largely covered with wax. The pulp has a pleasant taste, where there is both sour and sweet sensations. Plums stand firmly on the branches, fall off very late. Therefore, gardeners can give themselves a slight relief in terms of cleaning. The tree forms a crown in the form of a pyramid and well going through the icy season.

Although extreme weather conditions are not characteristic of central Russia, they are still quite severe. And farmers, gardeners do not have the right to forget about this circumstance, if they still want to achieve a decent result, of course.A good harvest can give already described "Blue Gift" and "Souvenir of the East." But you can not ignore the honored varietal group "Hungarian". All related varieties in the last month of summer produce relatively large oval-shaped fruits.

The late American Stanley, who left the limits of the experimental plots back in 1912, also belongs to the “Hungarians” category. The plant easily survives frost at 34 degrees, and from 4 or 5 years gives a significant crop.

There is a risk of infection of the fruits of moniliosis. "Stanley" is almost impossible to grow on not enough fertile land. And he suffers a lot when he comes into contact with fruit aphids. All of these problems do not reduce the credibility of the variety, giving large fruits. Harvest maturity occurs in early September, the plant is only partially self-fertile.

Among the long-used varieties is the "President", which is even slightly older than "Stanley". This plum is derived by the British. Fast growing trees can rise to 3 m. Fruiting later, comes only closer to October. The mass of fruits varies from 45 to 70 g, they are always round in shape. The taste is sweet and sour at the same time.

The “President” is capable of producing solid harvests year after year, but not earlier than season 5. Its useful property is the long retention of mature plums on the branches. The drought will almost not be able to destroy the plant, it is also protected from the cold winter, the defeat of the fungus.
