Description
Stability and Quality: Why "Best 1" Sets New Standards for Plums
The "Best 1" variety, bred by Ivan Savych Yarmoliuk, stands out as an exemplary late-ripening plum for growers who prioritize consistent yields. In today's volatile climate, this variety is distinguished by its fundamental winter hardiness: the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C makes it a premier choice for orchards in northern and central regions.
Defense Against Major Threats
The biggest hurdle in stone fruit cultivation is susceptibility to fungal and viral diseases. "Best 1" practically eliminates this concern. Exceptional resistance to moniliosis and plum pox (Sharka) allows for a significant reduction in chemical sprays. This not only cuts production costs but also ensures the harvest is suitable for eco-friendly consumption.
Fruit Characteristics and Productivity
Harvesting in the second half of September (the 16th to the 30th) helps balance labor demands in the orchard once early varieties are already in storage. Despite its late ripening, the fruits boast excellent market qualities:
- Size: Large (36–50 g) to very large (>50 g).
- Appearance: Striking dark purple, almost blue, skin that is firm, ensuring great transportability.
- Flavor Profile: A balanced sweet-and-sour profile (8–11% sugar content), perfect for fresh market use or processing.
The yield is consistently high, ranging from 35 to 50 kg per tree. The oval-egg shape gives the fruit an attractive, professional look, and the 101–115 day vegetation period ensures optimal sugar accumulation even with fewer sun hours at the end of summer.
Who is this variety for?
"Best 1" by Ivan Savych Yarmoliuk is the ideal choice for professional farmers targeting the late-season market, as well as private orchard owners seeking a robust, low-maintenance variety. It is a cultivar that is forgiving to beginners while delivering the predictable results that experienced agronomists demand.
