Also, the Hungarian Moscow plum is also called Tsaritsynskaya and is one of the oldest varieties. Its breeders bred in 1947 quite by accident, trying to grow a hybrid for collective farms located within a radius of 25 km from Moscow (European part of Russia). Then the seedlings of the Hungarian home (ordinary) self-pollinated, resulting in hardy seedlings that are able to bring a high yield.

The best soil for the tree will be a slightly alkaline substrate, but the acidified soils are not very welcome. Determining the site, stop your choice on the place where the earth is loose, protected from cold sharp drafts, well heated by the sun and retains moisture. Lowlands for planting are not suitable, because they accumulate cold air and snow in the winter season, which can trigger the process of bark ripening. The ideal place would be a hillside located in the southwest or northeast.
