In terms of the totality of qualities, it continues to hold high positions even in comparison with newer and more promising varieties, sometimes referred to as Hungarian Gypsy.

Breeding history

The variety has been known since 1947. The excretion was carried out by specialists of the FGBNU VSTISP. Presumably, the new subspecies was obtained by free pollination of the domestic Hungarian.

Description of the variety

The tree is medium-sized, up to 3 m, with a dense and spreading crown of a round-spherical shape. Abundantly forms basal shoots, quickly gains height. Branches drooping to the ground. Shoots are straight, with a reddish bark. The leaves are elongated, green.

Fruiting in this variety occurs mainly on bouquet branches, as well as on a one-year growth. Plum blooms in late May or 1st decade of June.

Fruit characteristics

Plums of this variety are small, each weighing about 20 g. Fruits are round-oval in shape, there are also ovoid specimens, with a pronounced abdominal suture, asymmetric. The color of the skin is saturated, dark purple-red, there is a waxy coating on top, the shell itself is rough. The pulp is amber-yellow inside, with a medium-sized bone that easily separates from the rest of the fruit.

Taste qualities

Fresh fruits of the Hungarian Moskovskaya are not very appreciated because of their mediocre sweet and sour taste. At the same time, they have a very dense juicy pulp, which is well suited for processing. In compotes and canned whole fruits, this plum is quite good.

Ripening and fruiting

The trees bear fruit annually from the age of 7-8 years. In terms of ripening time, this plum is considered late. Fruits are harvested from the 2nd half of September, immature ones grow well during storage.

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

Above average. 25-30 kg of fruits are harvested from the tree per season.

Growing regions

The variety is zoned for the Central region of the Russian Federation.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The variety is highly self-fertile. It does not need additional pollination, but it itself can act in this capacity for other plums. It is possible to improve the yield and taste of the fruits by joint planting in the same territory with the Red Skorospelka.

Growing and care

This variety of plums is very fond of planting in warm, well-warmed soil, does not feel good in lowlands and in swampy areas. It is better not to place the Moscow Hungarian on sandy soil or very dense alumina. The soil should be moderately loose, moisture-permeable, abundantly fertilized.Without enough sun, you can't expect abundant fruiting either.

The best time to plant this variety is in spring. But the pit must be prepared in the fall or at least 2-3 weeks before the transfer of the plant, with the removal of the fertile layer and deepening by 40-50 cm.The diameter of the hole should reach 60-80 cm.The resulting depression is filled with a nutrient substrate based on garden soil, mineral substances and organics. You can cover it until landing.

In the spring, the seedling is transferred to the prepared hole, placed so that the root collar is about 5 cm above the soil level on the site. A retaining peg is driven in next to it. Then the pit is filled up with the removed sod without the addition of fertilizers, and is compacted along the top. The seedling is tied up with a synthetic rope. It is poured with 4 buckets of water, they are brought in gradually, allowing the moisture to be completely absorbed.

Aftercare also involves some effort on the part of the grower. Young trees need intensive moisture until July. You will have to bring in about 5 buckets at a time 2-3 times a month. It is important that the soil remains moist to a depth of 40 cm in the root zone, and the water does not stagnate at the roots.

Fertilizers, if they were laid during planting, will have to be applied no earlier than 3 years of the tree's life on the site. Mineral supplements are introduced little by little. The first is given in the fall, when digging, using potassium and phosphorus. In the spring of 4 years before and after flowering, it is worth preparing nitrogen fertilizers. Strongly acidic soils are periodically dug up with wood ash.

Since the crown of the tree in this variety of plums thickens rather quickly, it is thinned out. Sick and old branches are cut out. If the top of the tree is below the side shoots, they are shortened, giving the crown a correct spherical shape.

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

Average protection against fungal diseases and infections makes this plum noticeably more vulnerable than other varieties. She often suffers from typical diseases of fruit trees. To preserve the harvest, it is necessary to regularly spray with special preparations. Smallpox or sharka is especially dangerous for this plum, which manifests itself in ring-shaped spots on the leaves, deterioration of the quality of the fruit - such trees are destroyed.

Among the pests on trees, the most common moth or sawflies, gall mites. Treatment is carried out with the selection of insecticides.

Hungarian Moskovskaya is prone to brown spotting. It is caused by a deficiency of minerals.Such trees are fed with granular mixtures with magnesium and potassium, bringing them into the root zone. Yellowing or chlorosis of leaves is treated with nitrogen foliar spraying with solutions of urea, nitrate.

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.

Resistance to soil and climatic conditions

Hungarian Moskovskaya is distinguished by average winter hardiness. At the same time, trees have high regenerative abilities. The fruits are resistant to cracking even in the dampest weather.

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.

Review overview

Since the variety belongs to one of the old, Soviet selection, for a long time it was actively grown in collective farm gardens, you can find a lot of reviews about Vengerka Moskovskaya. For many summer residents, the variety has been growing for decades, planting rejuvenation occurs naturally, due to the abundant root growth. It is noted that the presence of the Moscow Hungarian in the garden has a good effect on the fruiting of other plums and even cherry plums, and the tree itself, having entered the time of the return of the harvest, only increases its volume.

The disadvantages of the variety are also quite obvious. Fruit tree owners note that in severe frosts, plants often lose most of the shoots. Summer residents are unhappy with the long wait for the first fruiting. The plums themselves are gaining taste gradually, often in September they are still too sour, but after lying at home they become softer and sweeter.
