A large sprawling fruit tree, the Eurasia drain drained by domestic breeders, is adapted for productive cultivation in temperate Russian latitudes.
Rapidly growing culture in 3-4 years from the momentplanting is transformed from a one-year-old seedling into a young tree with a lush crown of a classical mosaic form and begins to give the first fruits. With qualitative care of the plum Eurasia yields good harvests - up to 50 kg from one adult tree. Being self-fertile, this variety should coexist with other representatives of domestic plums blooming in the same period. The most suitable pollinators are such varieties as Record, Rekklod vyzainiy, Volga Beauty, Mayak, etc.
Good winter hardiness allows the culture to succeedto bear the severe winters of the central part of Russia. The adaptive properties of the variety are excellent: twenty degrees below zero frosts are not terrible for the root system, nor for the flower buds. In addition, the Eurasian plum is valued by gardeners for a very high level of resistance to various diseases and pests.
Plum home among gardeners today is consideredthe most unpretentious and not causing problems when growing stone fruit crops for the Non-Black Earth Region. Absence of serious diseases and pests allows to do without carrying out protective measures.
Maturing in August fruits of a rounded shapereach a mass of 25-30 g. Their number in the harvest years is considerable and, decorating the branches, they increase the decorativeness of the tree. Large stems of burgundy-blue coloration are covered with a well-defined matt wax coating, which gives fruit an exquisite appeal. The bone, which is flattened from both sides, is difficult to separate from the pulp.
Being an early table sort, the Eurasia drainripens in August and is used mostly in fresh form. Juicy pulp of orange-yellow color with a very loose structure is excellent for processing into juices, jams or jam. Fruits have a piquant sweet and sour taste and a classic plum flavor. Especially good is the juice with the pulp. It has an excellent fresh taste and is saturated with valuable amino acids, sugars and vitamins, improving the work of the heart, the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the elasticity of the walls of the vessels and the general tone. The plum variety Eurasia opens the plum season, many gardeners are impressed by the early maturation of useful fruits and unpretentiousness of the culture as a whole.
How many stone fruit crops, plum Eurasia, descriptionwhich is presented in the review, loves well-warmed areas located on the hills. Picking up a place for planting plums, take into account the possibility of approaching or near standing groundwater. Such areas are unsuitable: the culture will not be able to develop qualitatively, it will suffer from freezing, gummedging and die. The best soils for the Eurasian plum are water-and air-permeable loams. Plant it with the already growing fruit trees on the site. Young plums are located on the southern side of the landings at a distance of 5-6 meters. The disadvantage of Eurasia is the tallness of the tree and therefore this aspect should be taken into account.
Plant a tree in the middle zone of Russia in the spring, because during autumn plantations young cultures do not always have time to take root or grow stronger, and therefore freeze in winter.
Landing pits 0.5 m deep and 0.6 m in diameterprepared in autumn or early spring. The extracted soil is mixed with humus in a proportion of 2/1, filling a pit by one-third. In the center of the pit set a sturdy stake and vertically have a seedling. Roots are neatly distributed, periodically shaking to avoid the formation of voids, and covered with prepared soil, layer by layer, tamping the soil with your hands. The root neck of a young tree should not be buried, as this will lead to the excretion of the cortex and the disturbance of the sap flow. At the end of planting, the plant is watered with two or three buckets of water, previously erected around the trunk of an earthen roller, which prevents moisture loss. After watering, the near-trunk circle is mulched with humus, and the seedling is freely fixed to the cola.
Plum Eurasia, the description of which is offered in the material, is demanding for watering. A lack of moisture can lead to oviposition and loss of crops.
