The popular variety of the "Wengerka " plum , which is distinguished by the lengthening shape of the fruit and its dark color, has many varieties. One of the most famous - the variety "Moscow". It was withdrawn in the fifties of the last century and successfully passed tests in the gardens of the Moscow region.
Description of the plum "Hungarian Moscow"
The "Wengerka of Moscow", or as it is also called "Tsaritsinskaya", develops a medium-height tree, not more than 3 m in height, a tree with a sprawling crown of rounded-spherical shape. On the dark red branches appear dark green leaves of elongated form and white flowers, from which then fruits arise.
The fruits of the plum "Hungarian Muscovite" have an ovate-elongated or round-oval shape characteristic of the whole group. Their weight reaches an average of 20 to 30 g. Cream have a thick and dense skin of purple-reddish color with a typical sizo-waxy coating and slightly bitter taste. Under the skin is a golden yellow flesh, dense and juicy. According to experts, the taste is sweet and sour and not outstanding. That is why the "Wengerka Moskovskaya" plum variety is used mainly not in fresh form, but for making jam, compotes and for drying. The elongated plum seed is loosely separated from the pulp. Fruit ripening occurs late - by mid-September.
Advantages and disadvantages of plum "Hungarian Moscow"
Despite the fact that the taste qualities of the blossomed variety do not differ in originality, "The Hungarian Muscovite" has its merits. Firstly, it was created for rather severe winters of the middle band. And the frost resistance of the variety is beautiful. Even if the trees are exposed to the effects of cold weather, they quickly resume growth due to the active development of the shoot.
In addition, the plum "Hungarian Muscovite" pollinators are not needed.
Of course, the variety has its drawbacks. For example, the resistance of a variety to diseases is characterized as average.
