Variety traits
Prunus salicina Lindl.
The maturity group of the Japanese plum determines the calendar dates for the onset of harvest maturity and is classified into early, mid-season, and late varieties.
In the reference 83 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.
The classification of Japanese plum varieties is based on the results of phenological observations that record the date of harvest maturity onset. A variety's assignment to a specific group is determined by comparing the obtained data with established standards in a specific soil and climatic zone. The ripening period from flowering to harvest can vary from 137 to 152 days among different varieties.
Distributing varieties into maturity groups is essential for scheduling continuous harvesting and ensuring proper climatic adaptation of plantations. For northern regions, it is critical to select varieties that can complete their development cycle before the onset of autumn frosts, as this directly affects shoot maturation and the tree's preparation for winter. Early-ripening Japanese plum varieties generally possess lower fruit shelf life compared to late-ripening ones, which dictates the strategy for their subsequent storage and transportation.
