Plumkot, aprium and sharafuga are unique interspecific hybrids of apricot and plum

The most unusual of all hybrids - sharafuga (or nectacotum) - has recently become increasingly popular. It is distinguished by frost resistance, early fruiting and unusual taste of the fruit. Read more about the “strange” fruit, its characteristics, types, main stages of planting and caring for a tree.

variety "Sharafuga" - a hybrid of plum + apricot + peach

hybrid "Sharafuga" has increased resistance to disease

Depending on the variety, “Sharafuga” is purple or orange.

What is sharafuga?

This hybrid has three heat-loving “parents” - peach, apricot and plum. But, unlike them, the plant itself is frost-resistant and grows in cooler conditions. It is grown both in the south and in temperate climates.

Externally, the tree looks like an ordinary plum - with the same leaves and thorns. The shape and size of the fruit are inherited from the apricot; when the pit has a peculiar pattern from the peach, it is easily separated from the pulp.

The taste of the fruit depends on its ripeness. Unripe specimens resemble plum flavor, while mature ones resemble apricot, the flesh is sweet or sour, juicy and pleasant.

Main characteristics

Although the apricot plum is an unpretentious and hardy plant, when planting it and organizing its care, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the culture. Specific characteristics help determine the health status of the hybrid and organize gardening work, taking into account its resistance to weather anomalies, the required space for replanting, the tree care algorithm, as well as the measures necessary to protect against pests and possible diseases.

Drought resistance

The crop can tolerate mild drought, but during fruit set and ripening it requires abundant watering.

Frost resistance

One of the distinctive characteristics of the apricot plum variety is frost resistance. The tree tolerates severe frosts and can withstand temperatures down to minus 30 degrees. Apricot plum tolerates both hot summer and warm weather. A difficult period is a prolonged thaw.

Plum pollinators

Apricot plum is self-fertile. To increase productivity indicators, it is necessary to plant pollinating trees of the Altanta, Renklod Kolkhozny and Peach Plum Michurina varieties next to the crop.

Productivity and fruiting

The apricot plum tree bears fruit with large oval-shaped fruits, the average weight of which is 40 g, and the maximum possible weight is 70 g. There are various subspecies of the variety, which differ in color (yellow, orange, dark purple, pink, dark red and greenish). The fruit has the taste of apricot and the external characteristics of plum, or vice versa. The culture is a precocious hybrid. Fruiting occurs 3 years after planting, yield increases as the tree matures. With proper care, you can harvest up to 50 kg of plums from one tree.

Plums ripen in a week, however, weather conditions may affect this time frame. It is important to monitor the plant so as not to miss the moment of ripening.

Scope of drains

Thanks to the wonderful aroma and dense structure of the pulp, apricot plum is used to prepare various desserts, jams and compotes, and is also consumed fresh.

Resistance to diseases and pests

The crop obtained as a result of crossing plum and apricot is resistant to diseases dangerous to plums and is not exposed to the harmful effects of insects. Timely preventive measures minimize the risk of disease and the negative impact of various pests.

Features of the tree

The hybrid tree grows in height up to 2-2.5 m. The plant belongs to low fruit crops. Subspecies of the variety differ in the appearance of the leaves. For example, the popular species Aprium is similar to an apricot tree, and Pluot is similar to a plum tree.

Description

What does sharafuga look like? This is a compact tree with a spreading crown of medium density. Every year the length of the shoots increases by 50-70 cm. Outwardly, it looks more like a plum. There are thorns on the branches. The leaves are curled, just like a peach.

The fruits are large (6-7 cm), shaped more like apricots. Depending on the variety, the skin is purple or orange. The apricot aroma is subtle. The fruits do not fall off, ripen in late August - early September, and have universal significance. They are consumed fresh, and compotes, jams and preserves are also prepared from them. They tolerate transportation well over long distances.

Common varieties

Apricot and plum hybrids have several varieties. The most widespread are:

1. Apricot Melitopol black. This is the name of a hybrid known for its height and high productivity. The fruits are large, oval in shape. Color dark blue or black.
2. Apricot Kuban black. The variety appeared thanks to the crossing of apricot with cherry plum. The tree does not exceed 3 m, it has small green leaves and fruits (weight 40 g). The taste is similar to apricot.
3. Apricot Lugansk black. This is the most tolerant variety to temperature changes. It can withstand frosts down to -25 °C, blooms in April, and bears fruit in late July or early August. The color of the fruits of the Lugansk variety is dark red. The taste is dominated by plum notes.

Lugansk black apricot is popular in the middle climatic zone of Russia and in neighboring countries.

This litter is popular due to the fact that it does not require fertilizers: the tree will bear fruit without them, but in order to achieve maximum yields, you can systematically fertilize it.

Depending on the variety of the plum-apricot hybrid, agricultural technology is taken into account. Certain varieties (Melitopol or Kuban) require regular watering, healthy pruning and the correct choice of fertilizers.

Types of sharafuga

This hybrid is very poorly represented on the market. From trusted sellers you can purchase only two types, which differ in the color of the fruit - bluish-violet and yellow. Purple fruits have red flesh with yellow veins and taste more like a sour plum. Yellow fruits, with orange spots scattered on the skin, are sweeter and closer to apricot, although the structure is still the same as plum.

In America, where sharafuga was actually bred, there are the following varieties:

• Bella Cerise and Bella Royale - for commercial sales;
• Bella Gold - a variety exclusively for home cultivation with yellow fruits;
• Velvet Sunrise - with purple.

What is the name of a plum crossed with an apricot?

Hybrid fruit varieties are popular among consumers. People are always attracted to something new and unusual, for example, a plum with a peach or apricot flavor, or an apple with a pear flavor.

Breeders take into account consumer demand and offer new hybrid varieties that are distinguished not only by unusual fruits, but also by frost resistance, compact crown size , etc.

Advantages and disadvantages

The “advantages” of culture are:

• frost resistance;
• high productivity;
• resistance to diseases and pests;
• excellent appearance and taste of the fruit;
• their transportability.

But there are also many disadvantages:

• the hybrid does not produce seeds;
• prefers only fertile soils; fertilizing when growing sharafuga is a necessary procedure;
• seed material is more expensive than conventional crops;
• It is imperative to monitor soil moisture;
• For better fruit set, it is necessary to plant a plum or apricot near the sharafuga, the flowering of which occurs at the same time as it. Shrafuga usually blooms together with pear, so early varieties are selected.

Hybrid of peach and apricot: pros and cons

Hybrid varieties usually occur within a single species, but sharafuga refers to breeding experiments where different species of a related type are taken for crossing. Advantages of hybridization:

• excellent taste characteristics, combining the qualities of peach, plum and apricot;
• wide range of applications;
• increased adaptive qualities;
• high levels of frost resistance.

The disadvantages of sharafuga are the features of agricultural technology:

Flaw	Characteristic
Does not produce seed material	Breeding is complicated
Grows only in fertile soils	Requires constant feeding
Does not tolerate overwatering	Constant control over watering is required

For gardeners, the difficulty is choosing seedlings. Not all nurseries have sharafuga planting material in stock. In addition, the cost of copies is quite high.

Landing Features

Experts recommend purchasing seedlings from trusted nurseries; quite often, other plum and apricot hybrids are sold under the guise of sharafuga.

Primary requirements

As mentioned above, sharafuga grows in the middle climate zone. If in the south it is planted both in autumn and spring, then in the central, northern regions with a colder climate, the best solution is spring planting.

The place for the seedling is chosen to be sunny, flat or slightly elevated. The main thing is that it is protected from cold winds. Cold air and dampness should not stagnate in the area. Planting in lowlands leads to the development of fungal diseases.

The optimal soil structure for the crop is air- and moisture-proof, fertile. If the soil on the site is acidic, then lime it first. Add 300 g of slaked lime per 1 sq. m.

They prepare it before planting in advance - in the fall. Having decided on the place to plant the seedling, the soil is dug up deeply and at the same time several buckets of humus and mineral fertilizers are added - 35 g of potassium and 70 g of superphosphate.

Instructions for planting (step by step)

In order to grow sharafuga, adhere to the following instructions:

1. In the spring, a hole measuring 80x80x80 cm is dug within 2-3 weeks;
2. Drainage made of broken bricks or pebbles of medium fraction is laid at the bottom to prevent stagnation of water;
3. Drive a stake so that it rises 50 cm above ground level;
4. Fill the fertile soil with a mound. It may consist of peat, humus and prepared soil from the pit, taken in equal quantities;
5. The plant is placed on the mound and the roots are straightened;
6. They fill up the hole and compact the earth;
7. The trunk of the seedling is tied to a peg;
8. Water generously;
9. The tree trunk circle is mulched with organic matter - rotted manure, hay, and mown grass. This agricultural technique helps reduce moisture evaporation, improve the structure of the soil, and “saturate” it with nutrients.

Features of growing plumcots in the middle zone

Plumcats and pluots are usually low-growing trees with a rounded crown. This crop is suitable for growing conditions that meet the requirements of plums. In particular, these trees do not grow in alkaline soil and require good drainage. Ideally, the soil should be neutral or slightly acidic. In very acidic soil, lime must be added when planting to bring the pH to 6.5. You should also add 1-2 buckets of rotted compost, 30-50 grams of any potash fertilizer and 50-60 grams of superphosphate into the planting hole.

Choose a location where the plant can receive six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Diploid varieties of plums are suitable as a pollinator. It would seem that there is nothing particularly difficult about growing plumcats and pluots. However, the main difficulty lies in the frost resistance of these plants.

The varieties of American selection are mainly designed for frost resistance zones 5-6, and for the middle zone, as is known, crops of zones 3-4 are recommended. Some domestic breeders have already begun breeding plumcots, as a result of which such varieties as the “Hummingbird” plumcot and the “Kubanskiy” plumcot arose. They differ in quality from southern California plumcoats, but their level of winter hardiness is much higher.

Among gardeners in the middle zone, there are cases of successful wintering of Western varieties of plumcot, but there is no talk of a rich harvest yet. At the moment it is difficult to say whether this is due to an unsuitable climate or to the young age of the seedlings, since these are young trees and, in fact, experimental plantings.

Agricultural technology

To get a harvest from a tree, care is organized, which consists of proper watering, timely application of fertilizers and soil care.

Watering the plant

The frequency of watering directly depends on weather conditions. If the spring turns out to be wet, then water it only during the hot period. Otherwise, watering is carried out several times in the spring.

It is better to water sharafuga, like plums, by sprinkling. Or dig a groove 15 cm deep in a circle at a distance of 0.5 m from the trunk, and pour 2-3 buckets of water into it per 1 square meter. m.

What, how and when to feed?

Feeding is an obligatory item in the agricultural technology of sharafuga. It is applied throughout the growing season.

In the spring, after the snow melts, they are fed with nitrogen fertilizers. In the summer, in the first half of June and the end of July, the tree is “fed” with potassium and nitrogen fertilizers for better fruit growth and faster ripening. Carry out 1-2 foliar sprayings with the same fertilizers.

Soil care

After watering or precipitation, the soil is loosened and mulched. If the garden is old, then dig up the soil under the trees using a fork and shovel. It is enough to dig around the trunk to a depth of 5-10 cm, the farther from it, the deeper the digging - up to 15 cm. The tree trunk circle is regularly cleared of weeds.

Other care and cultivation activities

Sharafuga grows quite quickly, so in early spring, before sap flow begins, all annual shoots are shortened by half. At the same time, sanitary pruning is carried out - dried, broken and diseased branches are cut out.

How to care for a hybrid crop

If you follow the care rules, sharafuga can grow in one place for about 15-20 years. An important condition is regular watering.

Watering

When irrigating, make sure that the top layer of soil dries out evenly. Moisture can cause root rot. During droughts, the amount of watering is increased. One adult bush consumes 10-15 liters of water.

Warning! Warm water is used for irrigation.

Fertilizer

The peculiarities of the hybrid bred crop require additional application of various types of fertilizing.

1. Before buds form, the soil is fertilized with organic mixtures.
2. When buds form, ammonium nitrate and nitrogen mixtures are added to the root (this will help increase the green mass).
3. When setting buds and at the beginning of flowering, superphosphates and potassium mixtures are added.
4. During fruit formation, manganese, calcium, potassium, and selenium are added to stimulate ripening.
5. After harvesting the fruits, the soil is again fertilized with organic matter.

Loosening and care of the tree trunk circle

The tree trunk circle is formed during planting. It is expanded as the tree matures. The trunk circle, if desired, is mulched with special materials:

• pine needles;
• pressed sawdust;
• mown grass.

Some gardeners do without additional mulch; it is necessary when it becomes important to preserve and retain moisture or prevent the spread of weeds.

Loosening is carried out regardless of the presence of a mulch layer. When loosened, the soil is saturated with air, becoming lighter and more suitable for the growth and development of the underground root system.

Diseases and pests: prevention and treatment

Sharafuga exhibits high resistance to diseases and pests. Carrying out preventive measures completely eliminates problems during cultivation:

• in autumn and spring the trunk is whitened with lime solution;
• in the fall, the trunk is cleared of damaged bark, removed, and the remaining leaves are burned;
• if insects are suspected, foliar treatment is carried out with a solution of onion or garlic.

Diseases, pests and protection

All hybrids are resistant to diseases and insects. Sharafuga only has a predisposition to leaf curl, inherited from peach.

But preventative measures are better to use. Whitewashing the trunk and skeletal branches with lime will help prevent sunburn and pests. The plant is whitened 2 times a year - in spring and autumn.

And also, in order not to provoke the appearance of pests in the fall, the tree trunk area is thoroughly cleaned of plant debris, fallen leaves and fruits. All collected natural waste is burned.

At the first signs of diseases or pests, folk remedies are used. Spray the tree with infusion of garlic or onion. If there is a large population of insects, you will have to use chemicals - insecticides, and if diseases develop - fungicides.

Planting and caring for Sharafuga

Sharafuga is grown and cared for in the same way as plums, peaches or apricots. Wood has the same features. But purchase seedlings only from trusted nurseries. Unscrupulous sellers sell other hybrids of apricots and plums under the guise of Sharafuga.

Landing of Sharafuga

The variety feels good in the middle zone. In the southern and central regions it is planted in spring or autumn, in more northern regions - in spring.

Choose a place on the site that is well lit by the sun, well ventilated, but without drafts. The site must be protected from cold winds and dampness, and waterlogging. Otherwise, the tree begins to develop fungal diseases.

Plant the peach-plum hybrid in fertile, well-moistened, well-drained soil. If the soil pH is acidic, then add per 1 square meter. m 300 g of lime to neutralize it. Prepare the soil in advance, in the fall:

• neutralize excess acidity;
• apply fertilizer if required (rotted manure or compost, minerals: potassium 30 g and superphosphates 75 g);
• dig up the soil at the planting site, loosen it, remove weeds.

Plant seedlings as follows:

• Dig a hole 60-80 cm in diameter;
• Lay drainage on the bottom of broken brick, pebbles or expanded clay;
• Place a stake to support the young tree;
• Fill half the hole with a soil mixture of soil, humus, potassium fertilizers and superphosphate;
• Plant the trees, spread the roots;
• Fill up the remaining soil, compact the surface;
• Tie the trunk to a support and water the plant;
• Mulch the surface around the trunk with straw, pine needles, peat or non-woven material.

Watering the hybrid

The frequency of irrigation depends on the growing conditions. If the summer is hot and dry, water the plant more often. If spring and summer have frequent rains, then watering is required only once in the spring.

Irrigate by sprinkling. Install a spray system on the site. If it is not possible to do this, dig a channel half a meter from the trunk and pour water into it. Count on 2-3 buckets for each square. m. Do not overwater Sharafuga, she does not like waterlogging. The water should flow to a depth of 1 m, just where the roots are located.

Feeding

Without periodic feeding, a hybrid of plum, peach and apricot does not develop and bear fruit well. Fertilizer application is divided into two stages: autumn and spring. In the fall, add organic matter - 2-3 buckets of humus or manure. Mineral fertilizers are also added at the rate of 2-4 tbsp. spoons per 1 sq. m.

In spring, apply nitrogen fertilizers: 3 tbsp. spoons of urea. Also in the summer they feed with Kemira according to the instructions.

Every spring, dig up the soil around the tree with a pitchfork, remove old leaves and fallen fruits. The digging depth should not exceed 5-10 cm, since the root system is located close to the surface. In the summer, constantly remove weeds, as they spread diseases, fungi and pests. If you do not plant anything in the garden plot, then periodically mow the grass and use it as mulch under Sharafuga.

How to trim Sharafuga

Sharafuga quickly grows new shoots. During the season they grow up to 70-80 cm. Carry out sanitary pruning every spring and autumn. Remove damaged, broken, dead and old branches. Inspect the trunk for damage, disinfect it with a solution of potassium permanganate, and lubricate it with garden varnish. Sanitary pruning can be carried out both in spring and summer. When pruning diseased branches of Sharafuga, leave a couple of centimeters from the healthy area.

Formation of Sharafuga

In general, pruning and crown formation in Sharafuga resembles the formation of a plum tree. The tree grows spreading, so these procedures are necessary periodically. This is also necessary to reduce the thickening of the branches so that ventilation is better.

The best time for formative pruning is in the spring, before the beginning of the growing season and sap flow. Over the summer, the plant will have time to adapt and heal its wounds. If the procedure is carried out in the fall, the tree will not have time to recover and may die in the winter. Frost holes may form.

Start pruning in the second year of growth. Remove all side branches, leaving only the main ones, up to almost 50 cm. Shorten the central shoot to the main, large bud by about 1 m. Remove growth every year until the tree reaches the desired height. In subsequent years, cut off the side branches by 20-30 cm. Also cut off all branches that grow incorrectly: up, down, inward.

Carry out the procedure with clean and sharp instruments. Clean the wound, lubricate it with potassium permanganate and garden varnish. Natural paint based on drying oil will do. Water and feed trimmed plants well. Then the tree will easily survive the procedure, produce a bountiful harvest and not get sick.

Harvesting, storage and processing

The harvest matures depending on the region. In warmer areas, the fruits ripen in August, in areas located further north - in early September. Since the fruits stick well to the tree, they are collected by hand. Don't shake the branches. When they hit the ground, they are damaged, which negatively affects their shelf life.

The fruits are perfect as a filling for pies; delicious compotes and amazing jams are made from them.

Application of hybrids

Pluot and aprium varieties differ in characteristics that affect the use of the crop. They are eaten fresh and used to make compotes, jams, juice and wine. Slibrikos makes an excellent dressing for sweet pastries. The fruits of aprium and pluot are very useful. They contain:

• vitamins A, B and C;
• fructose and sucrose;
• a large number of useful microelements (iron, magnesium, potassium, etc.).

Moderate consumption of fruits helps to normalize health. Slibrikos strengthens the immune system and helps remove cholesterol from the body.

Those who suffer from eye diseases should have fruits in their daily diet. Doctors recommend them for patients with cholecystitis and hypertension and prohibit them for patients with diabetes.

It is not recommended to consume slibrikos if you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Reviews from gardeners

Since few people are familiar with the hybrid, reviews about it are quite contradictory:

★★★★★
Maxim, 35 years old, Moscow region. The first time with Sharafuga they cheated me, they sold me something I don’t understand.
I waited for several years for fruit to appear on it and waited. Complete disappointment. The fruits are small, the seed is not separated, the skin is purple, similar to the color of a plum, but the flesh is neither a plum, nor a peach, nor an apricot. The taste is incomprehensible. That year I ordered seedlings from a trusted website, and they all took root. I'm waiting for fruit again. ★★★★★
Olga, 42 years old, Krasnodar region. My husband is an experimenter.
Sharafuga did not pass him by, the name alone is worth it. I planted three of them. He carried them around like a sack. And scheduled fertilizers and watering. But, we must pay tribute, the seedlings took root well, did not get sick during all this time and there were no bugs on them. In the fourth year they saw fruit. Delicious, sweet. The children were taken for testing to another region, I thought we wouldn’t get there, but no, we got there fine, didn’t even get damaged. Hide

Planting and caring for the sharafuga tree

Seed and clonal rootstocks of peach, plum, cherry plum, apricot, almond - reading room
Sharafuga has all the varietal characteristics of apricots, plums, peaches, so caring for it is similar to caring for these trees. The hybrid is grown everywhere in the Russian Federation. Abrisliva plantings in the Moscow region and other cities of central Russia are carried out in the spring, and in the southern zone also in the fall. Choose a sunny, well-ventilated place, without drafts. Trees are susceptible to fungus, so the site should be located away from bodies of water.

Planting a sharafuga tree and caring for it involves the following steps:

1. Rotted manure, superphosphate and potassium fertilizers are added to the soil.
2. They dig up the soil, simultaneously getting rid of weeds and loosening it.
3. Dig a hole with a diameter of 80 cm.
4. Drainage is placed at the bottom (broken slate, pebbles, expanded clay).
5. Install a peg for gartering the seedling.
6. Fill the hole with soil mixture.
7. They plant a tree, carefully straighten the roots, fill the hole with earth to the edges, lightly tamp the soil, tie the trunk to a peg, and water the sharafuga.
8. Mulch the plant with non-woven cloth, pine needles, and straw.

Further care is not much different from caring for ordinary fruit trees.

Watering and fertilizing

Water the plant as needed. In the dry season, sharafugu is watered more often than in the rainy season.

Spring-autumn feeding is required for this hybrid. In the fall, sharafugu is fed with organic fertilizers, and in the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied. Every spring, withered grass, last year's leaves, rotten fruits are removed from under the tree, and the soil is dug up. If nothing grows next to the tree, mow the grass next to it and mulch the soil with it.

Hybrid pruning

During the season, sharafuga grows shoots up to 80 cm long. In autumn and spring, broken, dried out, old and damaged branches are pruned. The trunk is carefully inspected, identifying damage, and treated with potassium permanganate.

The hybrid apricot plum and sharafuga peach in the photo does not need pruning. It has well-formed branches and good fruiting.

The crown is regularly formed, since sharafuga grows spreadingly and extra branches prevent it from developing normally. Branches are trimmed in spring, before sap flows. This way the tree will heal its wounds faster and adapt. Autumn pruning often results in the tree not having time to recover before winter and dying during the first frost. Trees of the first year of life are not pruned. Next, the side branches up to 50 cm are cut off annually. The central shoot is shortened to the main bud. The procedure is repeated until the sharafuga grows to the desired height. After this, every year the side branches are cut to 20 cm with sharp, disinfected tools. The cut areas are treated with potassium permanganate and drying oil paint. The pruned tree is watered abundantly and constantly, this makes it easier for it to survive the procedure.

Peculiarities of Sharafuga reproduction

Sharafuga is propagated only by cuttings. Planting material is prepared in the fall immediately before planting. Cut cuttings 20 cm long, free them from foliage, leaving 3 healthy buds. They are soaked for a day in Kornevin's solution, and then planted in the ground for germination at home in pots until spring.

Water and feed the seedlings regularly. And in the spring, after warm weather sets in, they are planted in open ground. The sharafuga hybrid is resistant to diseases and pests, but experts still recommend treating the trees with insecticides and fungicides in the spring for prevention, and whitewashing the trunk and lower branches in the fall and spring.

Sharafuga fruits ripen in the southern regions at the end of summer, in the central regions - in early autumn

The fruits are collected by hand, carefully removing them from the branches. It is not recommended to shake the tree, otherwise the fruits will fall off, become damaged and quickly deteriorate.

Ripe and correctly picked berries lie in a cool room for several weeks. They can be transported over long distances.

The sharafuga tree, planting and caring for which is not particularly difficult, is a rather exotic fruit. But you can grow it in your garden plot

It is only important to choose a sunny, ventilated place for planting seedlings, fertilize and water them in a timely manner. And after a few years, a harvest of amazing fruits will ripen

Which hybrid variety is better to choose?

When choosing a hybrid for planting on a site, first of all, you should pay attention to climatic conditions, soil acidity, air humidity and many other factors.

Since not all hybrid varieties are frost-resistant, not all exotic fruit trees can take root in northern latitudes.

In addition, if you do not take into account the lighting, the tree may not bear fruit at all. Some hybrids have a small compact crown, while others have a dense crown that requires frequent pruning.

You need to take into account all the characteristics of the area where you plan to plant and, based on these data, choose an exotic plant to your taste.
