Leader

The LEADER plum variety is a high-yield tree with a late maturity period, characterized by large fruits of a round, regular shape. The fruit flesh has a green-yellow or yellow color, features a tender texture, and offers a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste. Trees of this variety are vigorous with a pyramidal crown, which becomes more rounded and spreading with age. The variety is fully self-fertile and does not require pollinators, although the presence of other plum varieties nearby significantly increases yield. Fruiting begins in the 4th or 5th year after planting, while the yield of an adult tree reaches 45-70 kg.

For successful cultivation of the LEADER plum, it is recommended to choose sunny sites with warm climatic conditions and fertile soils. Plums are generally hardy plants, but to ensure stable and high-quality yields, it is important to use certified planting material that is free from diseases and pests. Special attention should be paid to the condition of the budwood and rootstocks to prevent the spread of bacterial and viral diseases.

The LEADER variety is versatile in its applications: its fruits are suitable for fresh consumption as well as various types of culinary processing. Thanks to its taste qualities and high yield, this variety is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a stable and delicious late plum harvest.
