Variety traits

Plum Yield

Prunus L.

An economically valuable trait measured by the weight of fruit per tree (kg/tree), per unit area (t/ha), or by canopy volume (kg/m³). Evaluation depends on the cultivar's pollination type, bud winter hardiness, and bearing dynamics over several years.

In the reference 37 varieties crop Plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess plum productivity, indicators such as the absolute fruit weight per tree, yield per hectare of orchard, and fruiting intensity relative to canopy volume are used. In intensive fruit growing, yields can exceed 25–35 t/ha, while for individual mature trees, high performance reaches 50–80 kg.

The trait is characterized by its dependence on varietal characteristics of self-fertility and the necessity for cross-pollination. High yield is often associated with the risk of alternate bearing, the susceptibility of branches to breakage under the weight of the fruit, and a decrease in the average fruit weight, which requires agrotechnical regulation of the crop load.
