Variety description

10 August 2026

Trees of this type are medium-sized, with a spreading crown of medium density. The fruits are medium-sized, oval or elongated, violet or nearly black in color. The flesh is amber, sweet, and juicy; the pit separates well from the flesh.

Varieties in the group ripen in late periods. They are self-fertile, although the presence of pollinator varieties contributes to an increase in yield. In commercial cultivation, the trees can be trained in the form of a fruit wall to facilitate mechanized harvesting.

Scientific literature notes the susceptibility of the group to bacterial canker. Agrotechnology requires control of tree vigor to ensure productivity. The group includes many mutations and breeding forms, therefore the name is often used as a collective term for this type of plum.
