Variety traits
Sugar content — Japanese plum
Prunus salicina Lindl.
The sugar content of Japanese plum fruits is measured in degrees Brix and serves as an indicator of crop quality, while sugar accumulation in shoots acts as an indicator of the plant's preparation for the winter period.
In the reference 40 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Japanese plum fruits, the content of soluble solids is measured primarily in degrees Brix (°Brix) using refractometers. Levels at 11–12 °Brix are considered baseline, while values above 14–15 °Brix indicate high flavor quality. Cultivars with a sugar content of about 9% are characterized as less sweet and often contain lower amounts of dry matter.
Sugar accumulation in the bark of annual shoots in autumn plays a key role in the physiology of the Japanese plum, acting as an osmoprotectant while preparing the tree for low-temperature stress. The sugar content of the fruit also depends on agricultural practices, including fertilization systems, mulching, and growing conditions in open or protected ground, which influence light and thermal regimes.
