Delicious garden decoration - plum renklode tambovskiy

Every spring, the orchards dress up in chic flowering outfits. Among the many trees, it amazes with its beauty - Tambov Renklod plum. She attracts not only with delicate flowers on the tree, but also with useful fruits. Such plums are distinguished by a dessert taste and tender pulp, which melts in your mouth like honey.

Such trees almost always look neat against the background of other garden trees. And only sometimes they demand trimming to form the original crown.

There are more than 250 types of plums in nature. Some of them are combined into special groups, one of which is Renklode. Instances belonging to this family have not only similar characteristics, but also visible differences.

General characteristics of the variety

Most often, Renklods are bred in the western part of Europe. On the territory of Russia, such a variety takes root well in the central and southern regions of the country.

Plum Renklod Tambovskiy prefers drained soils that allow air to pass through well. It can be sandy loam, loamy soils, as well as various types of chernozems.

The tree reacts poorly to drought, but also does not like long stagnation of water on the surface of the soil. If such a threat exists, you can take care of it in advance. Before planting, make additional soil drainage.

Tambovskiy Renklod plum grows well in sunny places. Otherwise, the fruit may lose its sweetness. And the yield will be much less than that of trees growing in open areas.

It is advisable to plant a plum tree of the Renclaude family between summer cottages to protect it from cold northern winds and frosts.

Plum is inferior in frost resistance to apple and cherry. In areas with frequent temperature changes, trees should be covered for the winter. If this is not done, tender young buds will suffer from severe winter frosts, which are replaced by unexpected thaws.

All Renclode trees have similar characteristics. Here is some of them:

1. The height of an adult plant, on average, reaches from 4 to 6 meters.
2. The crown is almost always spherical.
3. Young shoots are colored brown with a red tint, and sometimes green with the same tint. The bark of old branches takes on a grayish tint.
4. Fresh spring shoots are usually soft and pliable, but harden over time.
5. The green leaves have streaks on which delicate villi are visible.
6. Fruits have a spherical shape, up to 5 cm in size. Renklodes are rough to the touch and hold on a short, lowered stalk.
7. Some varieties require additional pollination.
8. The amount of the harvest depends on favorable weather conditions.

Trees bear fruit 3 or 6 years after planting for 15 years. Then it is advisable to update them. A more detailed description of the plum variety Renklode Tambovsky will help to imagine this family in all its splendor.

This hybrid was obtained by crossing the early ripening red with the green rennlode. This resulted in a tree that reaches about 4 m in height with a spreading crown. Its delicate buds can withstand severe Russian frosts.

Since the Tambov rennlode is a self-fertile species, it needs additional pollinators. The best are considered - Hungarian or Kolkhozny renklod.

On average, about 10 kg of fruit can be harvested from one plant, and with a high yield - 30 kg.The fruits of the Tambov renklode are rounded or slightly elongated.

The average weight of one piece reaches about 20 g. The color of the berry is purple. From above it is covered with a thick coating. The pulp is dense, sour-sweet on the palate. Fruits are stored in a cold room for a long time, since they are quite resistant to decay. They are used for canning and making wine.
