“…The results obtained in this study are generally more or less in agreement with previous findings in Poland HODUN et al 1998;ROZPARA, GRZYB 1998). The dwarfing effect of Wangenheim Prune seedling rootstock was however stronger in Poland (a growth reduction was about more than 50% in comparison with Myrobalan seedling rootstock) than in this study.…”

Thirteen plum cultivars on two rootstocks (Myrobalan and Wangenheim Prune seedlings) were studied in a trial established in the spring of 1998 at spacings 5 × 1.5 m. Trees were trained as spindles. Čačanska najbolja was the most vigorous in this trial, followed by Čačanska rana, Herman and Domestic Prune. The weakest tree vigour was observed on Wegierka Dabrowicka, followed by Čačanska rodna and Empress. Čačanska najbolja, Wegierka Dabrowicka and Valor had the highest yield per tree, whereas Čačanska rana had the lowest yields. Bluefre was the most precocious cultivar. Wegierka Dabrowicka had the highest yield efficiency followed by Empress and Valor. On the contrary, Čačanska rana, Early Blue and Domestic Prune belonged to the least productive cultivars. Trees on Wangenheim Prune seedlings grew about one third weaker than those on Myrobalan seedlings but their yield efficiency was about 31% higher although their yields per tree were about 12% lower. The largest fruits were recorded with Bluefre. Čačanska rana, Empress, Valor and Oneida were also ranked among large fruit varieties with minimum differences between them. The mean harvest season of evaluated cultivars started by Herman on the 12 th July and ended by Oneida on the 9 th September. Valor and Empress had the best performance of tree growth, bearing habit and fruit size, which indicates their good suitability for the modern types of plum orchard. Bluefre may also be of some interest for growers because of the best precocity and large fruit size, and Oneida for prolonging the whole harvest season.

“…A cultivar used at different sites must be adapted to local environmental conditions that are an important factor of successful growing. Therefore cultivar testing plays an important role in present plum research (KEMP et al 1994;OGAŠANOVIČ et al 1994;HODUN et al 1998HODUN et al , 1999MICHELS, KIRCHMANN 2002;STEHR 2003).…”

“…In order to improve the profitability of production, the number of trees planted per unit area was increased, which was enabled by using the cultivar 'Węgierka Wangenheima' (Wangenheim Prune) as a rootstock in new orchards. New valuable cultivars were also introduced, originating mainly from Canada ('Valor' , 'Verity'), the USA ('Bluefre' , 'Empress' , 'Oneida' , ' Amers'), the former Yugoslavia ('Cacanska Rana' , 'Cacanska Lepotica' , 'Cacanska Najbolja' , 'Valjevka'), and from Poland ('Węgierka Dąbrowicka') Hodun et al 1998). Many of them are still recommended for establishing new commercial orchards in Poland.…”

“…Different climatic, soil and economic conditions often cause a cultivar enjoying high reputation in one country to fail in another. For this reason, it is very important to conduct detailed studies in each country before recommending new varieties for large-scale cultivation (Hodun et al 1998;, 2007Blažek, Pištěková 2009.…”

'Victoria' were the control combination. On the basis of the eight-year study it was found that the most vigorously growing were trees of the cultivar 'Excalibur' . The most susceptible to frost damage and infection by Chondrostereum purpureum (silver leaf ) were trees of the cultivars 'Edda' and 'Excalibur' . In addition, the cv. 'Excalibur' was characterized by high susceptibility to the Plum pox virus (sharka). The highest cumulative fruit yield was shown by the cultivar 'Jubileum' . The worst fruiting were trees of the cultivar 'Mallard' . Fruits of the cv. 'Excalibur' had the highest weight. The smallest were fruits of the cv. 'Edda' characterized by early ripening time. The highest amounts of soluble solids were contained in fruits of the cultivar ' Avalon' . The cvs 'Edda' , 'Reeves' and ' Avalon' proved suitable for cultivation in Polish climatic conditions.

“…New interesting cultivars of the species have also been bred in Bulgaria (Vitanova et al 2007) and in Serbia (Nenadović-Mratinić et al 2007). A range of the new cultivars from these institutions and others bred in USA or Canada were recommended for use or for testing in new systems of plum growing (Hodun et al 1998;Grzyb, Rozpara 2000;Hartmann, Fischer 2003).…”

ABstrAct:Sixteen new plum cultivars mostly bred in Germany were tested together with several standards in a high density experimental orchard established at Holovousy in the spring of 2004 with spacing 5 × 1.5 m. Trees were trained as spindles on St. Julian A rootstock. In the orchard the following characteristics were evaluated: tree vigour based upon measuring of trunk-cross section area and canopy volume, yields, time of flowering, time of fruit ripening and basic parameters of fruit quality. The highest yields and precocity of fruiting were recorded on cultivars Tophit, Jojo, Elena, and President, whereas the least productive were Ruth Gerstetter, Anna Späth, and Topgigant Plus. Cultivars Katinka, Jojo, Topper, and Empress had the highest values of yield efficiency whilst the lowest ones were recorded on Topgigant Plus and Anna Späth. All evaluated cultivars were characterized by mean start of fruit ripening and length of harvest period. Topgigant Plus had the largest fruits (mean 75.9 g) followed by Bluefre, Empress and Tophit, whereas the smallest ones were recorded in Katinka, Gabrovská and Valjevka. The highest scores for fruit quality were given to Hanita, Tophit and Presenta. New cultivar Tophit was the most remarkable regarding all evaluated characteristics including its time of ripening that would prolong the season of commercially grown fresh fruit cultivars for use in the Czech Republic.
