Evaluation of promising Japanese plum genotypes for mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh

Abstract

Six exotic Japanese plum accessions, namely, Black Amber, Cherry Plum, Queen Rosa, Ruby Sweet, Florida 1-2 and Shiro 14-4 were evaluated under midhills conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Black Amber had lowest canopy spread, while Florida 1-2 had earlist leaf emergence and flowering. Accessions Ruby Sweet, Black Amber and Florida 1-2 were most promising for commercialization in the state.
