L.) production
in Romania amounts to more than
54% of the total fruit production.
There are hundreds of native cultivars
but only 20-25 are of commercial
importance.
Among these the
three most important are:
'Tuleu Gras' with very good quality
fruits, 30-35g, ripening in the second
decade of August.
It exhibits cytoplasmic
male sterility.
'Vinete Romanesti' with very good
flavor, small size 18-20g, ripening after
September 15.
'Grase Romanesti' with good quality
fruits, 25-30g, clingstone, ripening the I
second half of September.
Breeding work with plums was
started 25 years ago in order to develop:
earlier ripening for fresh consumption;
late ripening with high soluble
solids for drying; disease resistance,
especially to Monilia, polystigma
and plum pox; and trees with better
crowns that would need less pruning
and facilitate other cultural practices.
