Variety traits

Yield — Japanese Plum

Prunus salicina Lindl.

The yield of Japanese plum is characterized by early bearing and is measured by fruit weight per tree or in tons per hectare. The indicator is significantly influenced by the presence of pollinator varieties, the risk of spring frost damage to flowers, and the phytosanitary status of the orchards.

In the reference 45 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess the productivity of Japanese plum, quantitative indicators are used: fruit weight in kilograms per tree or tons per hectare, as well as a 5-point scale for variety testing. Productive varieties under favorable conditions show yields of up to 35–50 kg per tree, while in commercial orchards in southern Russia, they reach 30–36 t/ha, whereas less productive options demonstrate values of 9–25 t/ha.

High yield of Japanese plum is determined by the need for cross-pollination due to the self-sterility of most varieties and the risk of flower loss from spring frosts due to early blooming. Additionally, the realization of potential productivity is influenced by moisture availability, the intensity of crop load to prevent fruit size reduction, and the degree of infection by fungal diseases, such as blossom blight.
