The Cigány meggy variety, also known by the names Cigančica or Cigány, is traditional in Hungary and Serbia. One of the key features of the variety is the ability to propagate via root suckers without using grafting.
The fruits are of the morello type, characterized by medium or small size, dark red color, and thin skin. They have a tart taste and are actively used in the confectionery industry for the production of juices, preserves, jams, as well as in dried and frozen form.
In scientific research, the variety often acts as an object for studying cross-pollination and the influence of various rootstocks on fruit characteristics, which can vary depending on growing conditions.
