Yellow plums are inferior in popularity to traditional blue varieties. But thanks to their sweetness, productivity and unpretentiousness.
Yellow plum, being a hybrid variety of garden plum, is grown almost in the same way as its blue and red counterparts. Breeders obtained a yellow subspecies of plums by crossing cultivated cherry plum and wild plum/sloe. There are also varieties obtained as a result of artificial selection.
As a result of crossing a cultivated and wild fruit tree, a form was obtained that is resistant to extreme growing conditions, hardy and unpretentious. At the same time, yellow plums are unusually sweet, they are tasty fresh and in preparations - this is an excellent raw material for sweet preservation.
