Plum fruit seedlings – Požegača
The Požegača plum is a premium variety originating from Serbia, specifically from the Požega region, from which it gets its name. Known for its extraordinary aroma, flavor, and fruit size, this variety has become a favorite choice among both fruit growers and plum enthusiasts due to its unique characteristics.
The fruits of the Požegača plum are very large, elongated, and slightly flattened on the side of the stem. The skin of the fruit is dark blue, almost black, covered with a rich waxy coating that provides additional protection and shine. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and highly aromatic, with a mild tartness that contributes to the complexity of its flavor. This plum is used for both fresh consumption and the production of jams, compotes, brandies, and other products.
The tree’s canopy forms a dense, pyramidal structure with a pronounced central stem. The branches are medium-thick, branched, and covered with dark green leaves, contributing to the dense canopy.
When it comes to pollination, the Požegača plum is best pollinated in the presence of other plum varieties that bloom at the same time. Varieties such as Čačanska Lepotica, Čačanska Rodna, Čačanska Najbolja, and Stenlej will ensure a bountiful harvest of this exceptional variety.
In addition to its distinctive aroma and appearance, the Požegača plum is also rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a valuable addition to a healthy diet. Regular consumption of these plums can help improve health, strengthen the immune system, and preserve vitality.
In short, the Požegača plum is a true delicacy that combines beauty, flavor, and health benefits. With its characteristic appearance and rich flavor, this plum is an indispensable part of the fruit offering and a true gem in any orchard or on the table.
