Cherry Plum 'Zlato Skifov'
Developed at the Mironivka Institute of Horticulture specifically for the local climate.
Cherry Plum 'Zlato Skifov' is a true find for the Ukrainian gardener seeking a reliable and unpretentious fruit crop. This variety was developed at the Mironivka Horticultural Institute specifically for our climate, making it ideally suited to the conditions of central, southern and western regions of Ukraine. Cherry plum is an ancient crop cultivated by humanity for millennia, and this particular variety is the result of meticulous breeding work by domestic specialists, aimed at creating a plant that not only bears fruit but also captivates the gardener's heart.
In spring, the cherry plum becomes covered with delicate white flowers that celebrate the return of warmth and promise a bountiful harvest. Golden fruits ripen throughout summer — this is one of the most delicious cherry plums, renowned for its sweetness and delicate flavour. The tree reaches moderate size and easily fits into garden compositions of any scale, creating a compact and neat silhouette.
This plant demonstrates excellent compatibility with other southern crops — apricot, peach or plum. Plant it alongside these fruiting neighbours, and they will harmoniously contrast with one another; moreover, cross-pollination will only improve productivity. Cherry plum requires no complicated care: regular watering during fruit ripening and slight crown thinning in spring are sufficient.
'Zlato Skifov' is a plant developed with an understanding of local needs, one that will give you not only the unique flavour of homegrown fruit but also the confidence that it is adapted to the temperature and humidity fluctuations of the Ukrainian climate. This is an investment in resilience and productivity for many years to come, which pays for itself with the first harvest.
