Regionalized and promising plum varieties for gardeners of the North-West
The correct selection of varieties for each region, each particular orchard is decisive in obtaining high yields of plums. Practice shows that seedlings of varieties of this culture, brought from regions with a milder climate, in the North-West, as a rule, freeze out. It is safer to grow on their plots the varieties tested and recommended by the state commission, zoned for each region, and new promising varieties recommended by scientific institutions for the conditions of the North-West region.
Plum varieties to the greatest extent should combine such features as winter hardiness, self-fertility, high productivity, fruit taste, resistance to diseases and pests. Preference is also given to varieties with small compact crowns, which are suitable for compacting plantings and are convenient for maintaining the crown and collecting fruits. It is advisable to have in the garden 4-5 trees of various ripening periods and with fruits of universal purpose.
The zoned assortment of plums in the North-West region is represented by the following varieties: Skorospelka red, Skorospelka round, Vengerka Pulkovskaya, Renklod kolkhozny, Liflyandskaya yellow egg (Ochakovskaya yellow) - for the Leningrad, Pskov and Novgorod regions and Western European varieties Victoria, Emma Lepperman - for Kaliningrad area.
A long-term study of plums at the Pavlovsk experimental station of the VIR and the Leningrad fruit and vegetable experimental station testifies to the possibilities of successful cultivation of varieties of the Volga region and some other regions in the North-West region. In the group of promising varieties, Volzhskaya Krasavitsa, Mirnaya, Druzhba, Smuglyanka (Kuibyshevskaya experimental gardening station), Volgogradskaya, Ternosliv, Dubovskiy, Zolotoe Fleece (Dubovskiy fruit and grape stronghold of the Volgograd region) and a variety of folk selection of the Moscow region - Black Zyuzina are distinguished.
