Erlikvin 2

Betting on early harvest: experience with the «Erlikvin 2» variety

When it comes to selecting seedlings for a commercial orchard, the issues of winter hardiness and pathogen protection are top priorities. The «Erlikvin 2» plum, offered by the «Vidrodzhennya» farm, is a find for those who want to get a high-quality product as early as the end of July without spending their budget on endless fungicide applications.

Agrotechnics and Protection

In intensive fruit growing, the biggest challenge is fungal diseases. The «Erlikvin 2» variety (Chinese plum) is extremely owner-friendly in this regard. Throughout the observation period, the tree has demonstrated a virtually «immune» status against shot-hole disease (clasterosporiosis), moniliosis, rust, polystigmos, and black spot. If you are used to weekly garden spraying, this variety allows for significant optimization of your workload.

Productivity and Harvesting Calendar

The variety belongs to the ultra-early category. It takes only 60–70 days from the end of flowering to harvest. In calendar terms, the peak of harvesting falls in the last decade of July (July 21–31). This allows «Erlikvin 2» to be one of the first on the market to meet the demand for early stone fruit, which guarantees a high selling price.

• Winter hardiness: withstands up to -30°C without critical losses, which is vital for the central and northern regions.
• Yield: with proper care, the tree produces a stable 35–50 kg of fruit.
• Maintenance: the variety is undemanding, requiring only standard pruning and minimal preventive measures.

«Erlikvin 2» from «Vidrodzhennya» is a choice for predictable results. You get a tree that requires no fuss in maintenance, winters perfectly, and yields a predictably high harvest that can be sold during the most profitable period for early plums.
