The size and flavor characteristics of these plums are excellent - they are as sweet as many other Asian desserts. In addition, culture is distinguished not only by endurance, but also by unpretentiousness.

Breeding history

The birthplace of the excellent Kyrgyz plum became, as you might guess from the name, Central Asia. The variety is the result of the fruitful work of Kyrgyz breeders. But his parents chose the Americans - the famous cultures of Giant and Washington, from which the Kyrgyz took only the best, for which they called her Excellent.

Description of the variety

Plum trees are vigorous, while they can reach a height of 5 m. The crown of the Kyrgyz excellent forms a ball not too thickened with branches.

Fruit characteristics

The main advantage of the variety is its fruits. They are quite large, each weighing from 60 to 70 g, but individual specimens can reach the 100-gram mark. It is an elongated oval in shape. In a state of full maturity, they are colored in a beautiful violet-red tone. The fruits are coated with wax. They are distinguished by the yellow-green color of the pulp. She's very juicy. The stone inside the plum is medium in size and can be easily separated from the product. Despite the thinness of the skin, the fruits are distinguished by a fairly high transportability.

Taste qualities

Kirghiz excellent has, of course, the same excellent taste. Plum is very juicy, sweet, sourness, if there is, it is barely noticeable, the pulp literally melts in the mouth. Tasters rated the taste properties of Central Asian plums high - 4.8 out of five points.

It should be noted that the most delicious and sweetest plums are obtained if they are harvested in August. The main difference of the variety is that their taste practically does not change in different weather. True, on especially dry days, the plum must be watered very intensively.

The fruits of the Kyrgyz excellent are used in different ways, which people really like. Of course, it is more useful to use them fresh and juicy, but compotes, preserves, jams are just as tasty and aromatic. It makes a great prune.

Ripening and fruiting

Kirghiz excellent blooms in April, after the 15th. Ripens - in the 2-3 July decade. Plums are able to hang on branches for a long time without falling off and without losing their qualities, and this is very much appreciated by amateur gardeners.

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

The beginning of fruiting Kyrgyz excellent - 3-4 years of life. After that, she will give stable yields every year, but only with good care and regular watering. Productivity will increase with age.So, for 10-12 years, the expected productivity of the plant is up to 120 kg of fruits.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The Kirghiz excellent variety is considered self-fertile; it does not need donor plants. But experienced gardeners, to guarantee fruitfulness, plant next to the Stanley plum variety, which blooms at the same time.

Growing and caring

The Central Asian plum variety will not differ too much from other varieties in the nuances of care and cultivation. The main thing is the correctly chosen time for planting a tree, a site for constant growth. The number of care measures includes proper and moderate irrigation, complex fertilization, as well as the prevention of diseases, attacks of insect pests.

For regions with rather cold climatic conditions, it is optimal to plant a crop in the first month of spring, before bud break. In the southern parts of the country, the autumn procedure for planting seedlings is more often practiced a few weeks before the first cold weather.

The territory for the permanent growth of Kyrgyz plum trees should be excellent and long-lasting sunlit, and it should also be a quiet place, protected from winds and drafts. A close occurrence of groundwater is undesirable, it is better if they lie deeper than 1.5 meters.

They begin to fertilize the culture only the next year, since the nutrient soil mixture placed in the hole when planting the seedling will feed the plum for the entire first year.

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 trim plums in spring, summer and fall.
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

The only drawback of the variety is the fact that the plant can suffer from certain diseases - they are associated with aphids. Resistance to moth infestation is high.

Despite the fact that plum is considered 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.

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.
