Rumyanaya Zorka is an excellent choice for colder regions and orchards facing unpredictable spring weather. This hybrid cherry plum bears regular crops of crimson-pink fruit over an orange-yellow background, with firm, juicy, sweet-sharp yellow flesh. Ripening occurs in late July or early August. It is partially self-fertile, although a compatible Japanese, Siberian or cherry plum improves cropping.

Description

Rumyanaya Zorka is a modern cold-hardy plum. The medium-sized fruits are a very pretty dark pink / crimson colour when ripe, with a yellow flesh.

It has a good reputation for being cold-hardy and tolerant of difficult spring weather, and capable of producing heavy crops.

It is also quite precocious and should start fruiting in the 3rd year after planting if using a semi-vigorous rootstock.

This variety is partially self-fertile. It will usually set a good crop on its own, but cropping may be improved if planted near to other Siberian plums, Myrobalan plums, cherry plums, or Japanese plums.
