• You should not place plants close. For 1 sq. m no more than 3–4 seedlings.

The best varieties of plums in Ukraine

05/22/2020 About three thousand years ago, a wild variety of cherry plum, growing in the foothills of the Caucasus, naturally crossed with blackthorn, as a result of which a new crop appeared, which is a fruiting stone tree, later called domestic plum (lat . Prunus domestica

).

Gradually, this plant gained more and more popularity, and it began to be grown in many Asian countries, then it successfully reached the countries of the European continent. Today plum not only occupies a worthy place in the hearts of most Ukrainian gardeners, but is also successfully cultivated in the United States, Australia and even in Africa.

The plum tree can reach more than 5 m in height. Moreover, its yield (for some varieties) can exceed over 100 kg.

The plant has good frost resistance, withstanding short-term drops in air temperature down to -25°C, so it is often used as a rootstock for other stone fruit crops, for example, apricot, peach, almond and other plants.

The plum fruit is a juicy drupe of round or slightly oblong shape with a unique sweetish honey taste. In this case, the fruits can have a yellow, light green, purple, dark purple and even reddish-burgundy hue.

Fully ripened plums, in addition to being eaten fresh, can be used to make various drinks, juices, tinctures, and jams.

It is best to harvest either after the natural shedding of the fruit, or when the fruit itself falls into the palm of your hand, even with a light touch. In this case, the juicy plum pulp will have the strongest aroma and have the best taste.

Plum fruits are very healthy. They contain a large amount of sugars, vitamins A, C, B and P, amino acids, macro- and microelements. The seeds are used to produce valuable plum oil, which in its beneficial properties is often equated to almond oil.

Plum is also a wonderful honey plant: from one hectare of garden you can get up to 50 kg of first-class valuable honey.

The disadvantages of the plant include the fact that ripened plum fruits, alas, are a perishable product and do not tolerate long-term storage or transportation.

• possibility of transportation over long distances;
• Shelf life is 2–3 months.

The pulp is characterized by high density. The peel is thin and easy to separate from the main part of the fruit. The taste is rich and sweet, there is no bitterness, but you can feel a small amount of acid.

Plum seedlings Favorite of the Sultan

The plum variety Lyubimitsa Sultana reaches a maximum height of 3 meters and belongs to the class of medium-sized plants. The crown of the tree is sparse and elongated. The fruits are sweet, regular, round in shape. The plums are very large, weighing from 60 to 75 grams. They are purple in color with a red blush. The pulp is light yellow, slightly greenish, soft and juicy. The aroma of the fruit is fresh, with notes of sweetness.

How to plant correctly

Experienced gardeners recommend planting the plant between March and May, since it is at this time that the weather reaches average levels and is accompanied by heavy rains. The soils are fertile, with low acidity and average moisture levels. The planting hole must be fertilized in advance with compost or peat; its dimensions must be at least a meter deep and wide. Watering is carried out 1-2 times a week, but not too much, so as not to over-moisten the soil. Pruning is carried out in early spring with sharp tools, because poor-quality pruning can harm the plant.

Landing rules

To get high yields, you need to do proper planting. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of seedlings. If you are going to buy them, then give preference to 2-year options. They are more resistant to frost and other negative environmental factors. The height of the seedling is up to 50–60 cm, and the root system must be developed. Please note that high-quality seedlings should not be damaged.

Choose only well-lit areas, because Sultan's Favorite belongs to heat-loving varieties . A few weeks before planting the crop, you need to dig a hole and add 1 bucket of humus into it. When planting, you should distribute the roots along the entire perimeter of the hole and sprinkle them well with soil. After this, everything is thoroughly compacted and 10 liters of water are poured.

A small shaft should be made around the seedling, which will be used for watering. You need to install a metal rod near the seedling. It will serve as support and protection from windy weather. The planting scheme is such that for 1 sq. m. there should be no more than 3-4 plants.

Features of care

The Sultan's favorite does not require special care. It consists of standard procedures: watering, pruning, tying, weeding and fertilizing. There is no need to water the tree often. The optimal watering interval is 7–10 days. During this, you need to pour at least 10–20 liters of water under each bush. It is recommended to carry out watering in the morning or evening, when there is no scorching sunlight, so that the rays do not evaporate all the moisture from the soil, leading to root rot.

Plum variety Lyubimitsa Sultana does not require special care

Pruning is carried out annually, in early March. To restore the plant and provide it with protection from disease, it is recommended to remove damaged and dry areas of the tree. This will allow the plant to receive more nutrients. Every autumn you need to trim the top of the crown so that nutrition is provided not for the growth of the tree, but for the formation of fruits.

As the plant grows, you need to change the height of the support rod. After each watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed. This allows you to increase the amount of oxygen and nutrients entering the root system, and significantly reduces the likelihood of pests and diseases.

Feeding is carried out in several stages.

1. The first feeding is carried out using potassium and phosphorus fertilizers. It should be done at the beginning of flowering. To do this, mix 30 g of potassium nitrate and 20 g of superphosphate in 10 liters of water. 7 liters of solution are poured under each plant.
2. The second feeding, which is carried out 10 days before the start of fruiting, is carried out using nitrogen components. It is necessary to add 50 g of ammonium nitrate to 10 liters of water and pour 10 liters of solution under each tree.
3. The third feeding is carried out with the help of organic fertilizers. It is carried out in October-November to prepare the site for winter. Should be for every sq. m. of plot, add 5 kg of humus or mullein. Such components protect the soil from frost and prevent the root system from being destroyed.

Diseases and pests

The plum variety Lyubimitsa Sultana has excellent resistance to powdery mildew, bacteriosis and late blight. The only disease that cherries can be susceptible to is blight. You can get rid of it by spraying a special solution with Oxyx (2 mg per 10 liters of water).

The main pests are aphids, flea beetles and codling moths.

1. You can fight aphids by spraying the tree with a solution of Bordeaux mixture (2 mg per 10 liters of water).
2. You can get rid of aphids by spraying with a solution of colloidal salt (4 mg per 10 liters of water).
3. The codling moth can be destroyed if, before fruiting, it is sprayed daily with wood ash (200 g per 10 liters of water).

Please pay attention!

The first 20-25 days are key in terms of importance for the rooting of plants in a new place.

after planting the seedlings in a permanent place. The survival rate of young trees and shrubs in a new location and their further development largely depend on timely pruning and regular watering in the first three weeks.

Mandatory pruning is recommended for fruit plants

When planting, carry out post-planting pruning, leaving shoots no more than 40-45 cm long. It is also recommended to
annually
remove dry, damaged or fattening shoots, thinning, and crown formation.
Watering.
Young plants REQUIRE
regular , proper watering.
For successful rooting of the plant, it is important that the soil is wetted not only from above (by 7-12 cm), but to the depth of the tips of the roots of the seedling (up to 35-45 cm).
To do this, after planting during the first month
, you must water the plant 2 times a week, 1 bucket per tree.
In dry times, it is recommended to increase watering to 1.5-2 buckets of water per plant 2-3 times a week. Mulching.
To preserve moisture in the soil for a long time, it is advisable to use organic mulching of the tree trunk circle with a layer of 7-10 cm.
Loosening.
Regular, shallow.
Weeding around the tree trunk. Important to remember!
Lack of pruning during planting and irregular or insufficient watering in the first months after planting significantly reduce the percentage of plant survival in a new location.

Stanley plum variety

Stanley is the main variety in world prune production. The tree grows vigorously in the first years, but later its growth weakens. The crown is highly oval, compressed, sparse. The variety is self-fertile, a good pollinator.

Productivity is high and regular. At the age of 6-7 years, the trees produce 36...40 kg of high-quality fruits. The fruits are placed sparsely, 1-2 at a time, which determines their one-dimensionality even with high yields.

The Stanley variety is resistant to diseases, including “sharke”. The fruits are large, weighing 40-45 g, obovate. The skin is violet-blue, almost black, covered with a thick bluish coating.
The pulp is yellow, very dense, gristly, good sweet and sour taste - 4.3 points. The stone is medium-sized, flat, pointed, semi-separable from the pulp. The fruits ripen in the first ten days of September.

How to choose the right plum variety

The plum tree, which produces fragrant fruits, has a whimsical disposition. Plum fruits can be white, red, yellow, blue, almost black and greenish. In order to enjoy the taste of ripe berries, you have to work hard. There are various varieties of plums, and everyone can choose a variety to their liking. But, when choosing the desired variety, you must take into account the climate of the area in which you plan to grow plums. All varieties are divided into three large groups:

• early (Skoroplodnaya, Mirabel, Golden Ball, July, Stanley, Zarechnaya early)
• mid-season (Romain and Souvenir of the East)
• late (Renclaude, Empress, Svetlana, Top Hit, President)

Early varieties will be of interest to those who intend to sell the harvest, while mid-season and late varieties are most suitable for conservation. Mid-ripening and late plums, unlike early ones, have a rich taste and aroma and tolerate transportation well over long distances.

Yellow plums of the Egg, Honey and Altai white varieties are popular among gardeners. They belong to late varieties and, what is most valuable, they tolerate frost and drought well. If the climate of the area in which you plan to grow plums is prone to frost, then it is best to purchase varieties such as:

1. Morning,
2. Hungarian,
3. Spark,
4. Blue gift
5. Greengage,
6. Yakhontovaya,
7. Oh yeah,
8. Generalskaya,
9. Tula black
10. Egg blue.

In the case where you plan to get a harvest from only one tree, the above varieties will be the ideal choice. These varieties are self-fertile, that is, self-pollinating. When purchasing a seedling, you should pay close attention to this fact. The varieties Smolinka, Blue Dar, Skorospelka red, Kantemirovka are self-sterile, and the varieties Anna Shpet, Chemalskaya krupny, and Eurasia 21 are fastidious in pollination. If you plan to plant several plum trees, then you can safely take 2-3 different varieties for successful pollination.

The Giant plum variety, with a self-explanatory name, although it produces an excellent harvest, is weakly resistant to fungal diseases and does not tolerate frost well.

There are a great many varieties of plums, and with proper care, any of the varieties will give an excellent harvest. Rich in vitamins, plums will delight you at any time of the year, both fresh and canned. Plum is a somewhat whimsical plant; it requires proper planting and proper care. A reasonable choice of variety and quality seedling will allow you to get a good harvest.

Plum Lyubimitsa Sultana - variety description, photos, reviews from gardeners

And the setting is excellent, I have 4 more varieties grafted on this renclod, plus it itself, so it’s hard to say who it helps.

Ripening is uneven, which is excellent for family consumption. It starts in August and ends in September, it’s great for the child, because he doesn’t get tired of it a little bit every day. The color is different, in the shade the color is less dark, more variegated, but at the same time it is ripe. The stone separates beautifully, which I really appreciate in varieties of plums and other stone fruits. If you don’t overexpose it on the tree, then the plum will not have a mushy taste, but will have a normal dense consistency of pulp, dense, elastic and sweet! When overexposed, it actually becomes too juicy and soft, and this one already goes to waste, that is, to compost. No one here likes the sloppy plum.

The size of plums is visible in comparison with a pack of cigarettes (thin), and with pears.

PS Somehow the name “favorite of the Sultan” doesn’t fit with her. There is the original, Favorito del Soltano (FdS). Why not stick to it?

PPS By the way, I’m not entirely sure that I have FDS. I took cuttings in the Kursk region, without any name, just as “large and tasty.” Identification was carried out on our forum and everywhere on the Internet. If something from the description does not fit the FDS, then I am waiting for comments. I myself know that the name Favorito del Escudo Esperanto is going around. Extremely similar to the FdS. Perhaps they are one and the same.
