Plum is one of the popular fruit trees in the garden. Achieving a large harvest is possible only with high-quality care, namely: watering, processing, feeding. For a versatile fruit, try the Angelina variety.

Description of the variety

The described variety is medium-sized. The height of the trees is no more than 3 meters, the pyramidal crown, rather massive at the base, is one of the distinguishing features of this variety.

Fruit characteristics

Angelina plums are large, the maximum recorded weight is 120 grams. In shape, the fruits are similar to a barrel, the color is dark purple with a white bloom.

The skin of the fruit is dense, inside the flesh is amber, rather juicy, but fibrous.

Taste qualities

Angelina has a sweet and sour taste.

Ripening and fruiting

After planting seedlings in the ground, they begin to bear fruit in 2 years. Fruits ripen late, flowers appear in May, only at the end of September can be harvested.

After planting a plum sapling on the site, of course, the question of the beginning of the fruiting of the tree always arises. Most varieties of plums begin to bear fruit 4 years after the seedling is planted. However, there are those that differ in an earlier or later period of fruiting. The difference in the beginning of fruiting is determined by the color of the plum. So, purple varieties always begin to bear fruit earlier - by 2-4 years, but yellow varieties differ in later fruiting.

Yield

Productivity at the level of 60 kg per tree.

Growing regions

The described variety is grown in Moscow and the Moscow region.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

This variety is self-fertile. Other varieties with the same flowering period and columnar cherry plum are suitable as pollinators.

Growing and care

Plum of this variety is best grown on fertile, loose soil. Top dressing is required for her without fail. This is a sun-loving plant, so the place must be chosen carefully.

The first 2-3 years after planting seedlings of this variety, they need a sufficient amount of nutrients. With further care, additional fertilizers are needed. In autumn: organic matter - mullein infusion, which is diluted with water 3-5 times, or bird droppings - 10 times.

In the spring, Angelina should be fertilized with mineral compounds. The first fertilization is applied before flowering, in April. 30 grams of urea is suitable, which dissolves in 10 liters of water. In May, after flowering, 40 g of nitrophoska and 30 g of urea are used, which are diluted with a bucket of water. In the summer, after harvesting, 30 g of potassium sulfate + 40 g of superphosphate per bucket of water are used as fertilizer. One plum requires 20 liters of a mixture of these nutrients.

Angelina requires an abundant application of nitrogen. It should be used at a dose of 100-150 kg per hectare.

Mineral dressings should include 3 main macronutrients: nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.After planting, young plums are fertilized in the first year of growth in mid-May, the second dose is applied in mid-June. Thanks to this, powerful growths are obtained by autumn, which are necessary to create a crown. If Angelina's growth is strong in the first year, use a small dose of top dressing. Old fruit trees are fertilized with a lower dose of nitrogen, because they usually grow more slowly than young seedlings.

It is worth remembering! For mature plums, we use organic fertilizers such as compost or manure every 3-4 years. Mineral - every spring.

If necessary, we also perform soil liming every 3-4 years. The best time to complete this procedure is in the fall. The indication for its implementation is considered to be too low a pH level, that is, excessive acidification of the soil.

Under Angelina, it is good to use mulch from manure or compost. The latter is laid in a layer about 2-5 cm thick around the trunk and carefully dug up with the ground.

It is best to mix manure with the soil before planting trees at a dose of 120 g per 1 m2. After application, the fertilizer undergoes complete disintegration and is absorbed within 1 month, improving the structure of the soil, releasing the necessary nutrients. The granulated manure can be used to make an aqueous solution that can be used to water the growing plums.

When choosing a fertilizer for feeding Angelina in the spring, it is worth finding out the chemical composition of the soil. Spring application of nitrogen for young trees of this variety should be applied at the turn of March and April. In the first and second year, 50 g is required, in the third and fourth years - 80 g. On light soils, 60-120 kg of nitrogen should be used per hectare. In doses: 1/3 in March, 1/3 after flowering, 1/3 after June 20. And on heavy soils - 2/3 in March and 1/3 after flowering. If last year the increase was large, the dose is reduced to the lower limit.

We carry out fertilizing of fruit trees with phosphorus using "Polyphoska". Phosphorus stimulates fruiting and early root formation. This product contains nitrogen (8%), phosphorus (24%), potassium (21%) and sulfur (9%). In the spring, top dressing is applied at a dose of 4-6 kg / 100 m2. In turn, when planting Angelina, it is worth adding bone meal to the dug hole.

Potassium influences the taste and color of fruits, protects fruit trees from diseases and ensures good nitrogen absorption. In this case, potassium sulfate is recommended. Before fruiting, it is applied in a dose of 3-6 kg per 100 m2.

As for pruning, it is done in the first year. The first pruning of Angelina plums is done after planting in the spring. The best time for pruning young plums is March.

In case of branching, cut off 30 cm above the highest located lateral shoot, cut the rest by about half. If the tree is unbranched, then we cut the branches to a height of 80 cm.

In the next 2 years after planting, the crown of the Angelina plum should be formed, while trying to cut off the shoots as little as possible.

For normal development and timely release to fruiting, the plum must be planted at a favorable time, provided with food and water. It is necessary to choose the right seedling, determine the location, prepare the planting pit in advance.
If you wish to get a full harvest in the future and to renew the tree, the plum is grafted onto crops that are classified as pink. In this case, the plum cuttings are implanted on the mother plant, which will be responsible for further vegetation and nutrition of the scion.
Pruning plums is not easy and very important. If it is not carried out, the number of branches on the tree will be excessive, the crown will become too thick, the fruits will begin to shrink. You can prune plums in spring, summer and autumn.
Plum feeding is one of the important stages of fruit crop care.In order to properly and fully feed the plum tree, various types of fertilizers are used. Both mineral and organic options are used. Many of the folk remedies are found to be useful and effective.

Disease and pest resistance

Angelina shows an average resistance to pests and diseases, so treatment is indispensable. Insecticides are an excellent remedy for ticks and aphids, fungicides help to cope with most common pathogens.

Despite the fact that the plum is considered to be more hardy than many fruit trees, it is not immune from diseases. It is attacked by viral, fungal and bacterial infections, and parasitic insects harm it. It is necessary to notice and recognize the signs of plum disease in time. They are easier to deal with and defeat early on. Well, in order to protect the garden tree from such a misfortune in the future, preventive procedures can be carried out.

Resistance to soil and climatic conditions

The plum variety Angelina has increased winter hardiness.

Reproduction of plums will help save on planting material: you do not have to pay money for a seedling. In addition, this activity is simple and exciting. Plum can be propagated by cuttings, root shoots and layering.
