Variety traits

Yield of European plum

Prunus domestica L.

An economically valuable trait of productivity in plum cultivars, expressed in tonnes per hectare, kilograms per tree, or specific canopy productivity.

In the reference 230 varieties crop European plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Average yield indicators for European plum under standard conditions range from 15–25 t/ha, reaching 35–50 t/ha or more with intensive cultivation technologies. In cultivar trials, high-yielding varieties are those capable of producing 60–80 kg of fruit per tree.

Plum yield is determined by the biological characteristics of the cultivar, including self-fertility and the winter hardiness of generative buds. The use of dwarfing clonal rootstocks allows for a significant increase in the specific productivity of orchards; however, a heavy fruit load creates a risk of branch breakage, which necessitates canopy training and the installation of supports.
