Colora

A coloured specialty, certainly not to be found at the supermarket – the colourful plum for the home garden and direct marketing with attractive visual effect and early onsetting yields.

Parents:

Ortenauer x R. Gerstetter

Growth:

medium strong to strong, broadly oval

Blossom:

late, partially self-fertilising

Ripeness:

end of July to end of August

Appearance:

medium-sized, longish oval, yellow-green fruit skin with red cheek

Quality:

juicy, stone loosens out well, somewhat soft

Taste:

harmonious, sweet and sourish and aromatic

Crop yield:

early onsetting, medium high to high

Special notes:

Hardly susceptible to fungal diseases and sharka (plum pox virus) virus; thinning is recommended, because taste is insufficient in an over-crop situation; a brightly coloured enrichment in the direct marketing.
