Growth and cropping of plum trees 'Felsina', 'Top' and 'Elena'

An investigation on the growth and cropping of plum trees, which were cultivated on heavy soil, was conducted for nine years after planting (1997-2005). The experiment includedplum cultivars Felsina, Elena and Top, grafted on rootstocks Fereley Jaspy (P.salicina x P.spinosa) and GF 655/2 (P.insititia), and planted at three densities (3.8 x 1.8, 3.8 x 2.2 and 3.8 x 2.6 m). In our growing conditions, among cultivars in trial, 'Elena' is the most promising for modern, intensive plum growing because was precocious, productive and gave fruits of good quality.
