Variety traits

Yield of bullace, damson, and mirabelle

Prunus domestica L. subsp. insititia (L.) C. K. Schneid.

The yield of bullace (Prunus domestica subsp. insititia) is estimated in ц/ha or kg per tree and largely depends on the genetic potential of the cultivar, self-fertility, and seasonal weather conditions.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Damson, where this is mentioned in the description.

In the Middle Urals, the average productivity of bullace cultivars over a ten-year fruiting period ranges from 95.7 to 139.2 ц/ha. In favorable years, the potential of individual cultivars allows for figures of 319.7–388.3 ц/ha, and in individual cultivation, the yield from a single tree can reach up to 30 kg.

The stability of fruit bearing in this crop is closely linked to biological characteristics, in particular, the cultivar's capacity for self-fertility. Selection breeding is based on a positive correlation between fruit weight and total yield, as well as the plants' ability to adapt to late spring frosts through specific flowering times.
