Plum Frosya

Frosia plum is a mid-season variety of Japanese plum, distinguished by its high yield and disease resistance. The trees are dwarf with pyramidal or drooping crowns, light green leaves, and prefer sunny, open locations and fertile, loose soils such as loam, chernozem, and podzolic soils. The variety has high winter hardiness and resistance to diseases such as rust, powdery mildew, verticillium wilt, and clasterosporium, making it a reliable choice for orchards.

Frosia plums are of medium size, weighing from 15 to 30 grams, with an oval or flattened-oval shape, yellow skin, and a purple-red blush. The skin is tender, smooth, with a medium waxy coating. The flesh is juicy, fibrous, orange-pink in color, sweet with a slight acidity or sweet-sour. Ripening occurs in mid-August, and the fruits can be stored for up to 7 days while maintaining their flavor qualities.

The Frosia variety is characterized by annual and potentially high yields. The fruits are almost undamaged during harvesting and transportation, allowing them to be used not only for fresh consumption but also for making compotes and other home preserves. Due to their flavor qualities and resistance to unfavorable conditions, the Frosia plum is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a stable and quality harvest.
