Presenta (S)
Plum, Prunus domestica
A late plum variety that is very lucrative to grow due to its high internal and external
qualities and its yield performance make it very lucrative to grow. The very late ripening time requires additional regulation of plum fruit moth. Because Presenta (S) has a tendency to fruit clusters, it is also useful to add further fungicide treatment during humid weather conditions in the ripening period.
