Papaz Plum Tree

Origin: Turkey

Description:The Papaz Plum Tree is distinguished by its production of exceptionally sweet, large plums. This variety has a vigorous growth pattern and typically displays a wide, spreading canopy. It is adaptable to a range of climatic conditions but thrives best in warmer regions. The tree is also known for its attractive blossoms and relatively high frost tolerance.

Fruit: The fruit is large with a skin that is dark purple to almost black when ripe. The flesh is amber-colored, incredibly sweet, and very juicy, making it highly sought after for both fresh consumption and dessert preparations.

Harvest: These plums ripen in late August to early September, and the trees are known for their heavy and reliable yields each season.

Pollination: Papaz plums are self-fertile, which means they do not require a pollinator to produce fruit, but having another plum variety nearby can enhance yield significantly.

Spacing: Spacing should be approximately 4 to 5 meters between trees to maximize growth and fruit production. Trees can reach heights of up to 5 meters.

Good to know: The Papaz variety is valued for its low maintenance and ease of growth, making it a favorite among home gardeners and commercial orchards alike. It has notable resistance to several common plum diseases, which further enhances its appeal to growers looking for robust fruit varieties.
