Plum Morning contrasts sharply against the background of its fellows. The main difference between the fruits is the rare and atypical color for this species. Plum has a pleasant pale yellow hue, which strongly resembles the color of the morning sky. However, the peculiarities of the variety do not end with the shade.

Description of the variety

If you pay attention to the tree itself, then you can note its small growth. An adult and fully formed plant reaches a height of no more than 4 meters. This feature helps gardeners to significantly simplify harvesting, while making it more efficient.

If you look closely at the crown, you will notice its extraordinary density, which means that the tree will not only bear sweet and juicy fruits, but will also become a wonderful decoration of the garden. A great solution would be to plant it near a fence to hide your privacy from prying eyes. The tree grows mainly in temperate climates, so it will hardly take root in colder regions.

As for the foliage, it is always large, round-oval, without pubescence. Light green wrinkled leaves have a crenate edge. The shoots of the tree are thick, bare, and have a standard dark brown color. The life span of a culture is about 21 years.

Fruit characteristics

Plums are often of medium size, but there are also larger specimens. So, the weight of one fruit varies from 25 to 45 grams. If the tree grows in a sunnier place, then a slight pink haze can be seen on the fruit, it is a blush and is characteristic of many other varieties.

The skin of the fruit is thin, while no age spots or peeling appear on it. Most plums have a thin waxy coating that does not show up in taste. The pulp of a ripe fruit is moderately soft and juicy, without any hard veins and lumps. It literally melts in your mouth.

The fruit stem of the fruit is not too long, while it allows it to hang firmly on the tree and does not allow it to fall. It separates easily during collection and does not interfere with further use.

The main shade of the plum will be green-yellow. From time to time you can observe on the skin overflows from green to orange tone. Such fruits will look interesting as a table decoration and will not leave your guests indifferent.

Taste qualities

The range of taste sensations from eating the Morning variety is quite wide and varied. So, at the moment of eating, the first to feel a bright sweet taste, similar to honey. After that comes a moment of sour aftertaste, which perfectly refreshes even in the hottest weather. The fruits are suitable both for fresh consumption and for preservation. Plum will open itself well after heat treatment, so the jam from this fruit will be a wonderful and tasty treat for tea.

Ripening and fruiting

The plant begins to bloom in the spring, around mid-May. Flowering and the process of pollination do not last long, after which the formation of the ovary begins. The first years after planting flowers or young plums may not be at all, this is absolutely normal. Climatic conditions are no less important. In the more rainy and windy regions of the country, pollination is much worse.

Ripe fruit is difficult to identify, this problem is caused by a very complex and intricate color. A qualitative way to determine maturity will be the palpation of the fruit: if it is soft enough, then it can be eaten.

Fruiting takes place from 7 to 14 August. For a young tree to be able to bring a rich harvest, at least 5 years must pass from the time of planting. During this period, the tree will have time to completely root in the ground and will be ready to give a bountiful harvest.

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

Fruits on the tree ripen unevenly, although this feature plays into the hands of the owners, since they have the opportunity to harvest fruits for a certain time.

Once every 4-5 years, the tree takes a short break. In this year, the fruit ripens significantly less, but after it again enters its usual rhythm. The next year, you will again notice higher rates of fruiting.

The average number of ripe plums will be 15 kilograms, but in some years the figures grow to 20-35 kilograms. This directly depends on characteristics such as age, soil quality or the health of the tree.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Morning is often used as a helper for pollination of other fruits, as this variety is self-sufficient and independent. Self-fertility is one of its main advantages, which greatly simplifies caring for it and reduces the number of possible problems. So, next to it, you do not need to plant a few more pollinators in order to get a rich harvest.

Growing and care

Proper care will make an invaluable contribution to the development of the tree. It will become a support and support for the plant and will allow it to grow properly, bring a bountiful harvest.

Like any other plant, this tree needs regular watering. It is necessary to maintain a water balance so as not to cause the development of mold or other fungus. When watering, you need to look at the condition of the soil, and also take into account the climatic conditions of the region.

The tree should be pruned once a year. It helps the plant to properly distribute all its internal resources and not waste them. Plum, like other trees, needs feeding. It is recommended to produce it at the beginning of the season and at the end, so that the tree can restore all its strength.

Before wintering, the young tree must be covered, as it is unstable before frost and will not survive the cold.

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 Morning variety is resistant to most parasites and diseases. Since it is hybrid, it has absorbed all possible positive characteristics. The tree perfectly tolerates even the most common pests. So, it calmly withstands the attack of aphids. Resistant to moth attack.

Resistance to moniliosis and clasterosporium is average. To avoid such a fate, the tree needs to be processed regularly. This should be done at the beginning of the bud ovary and throughout the season. If possible, all infected branches should be cut off and disposed of. This is necessary in order to stop the further course of the infection.

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.
