Plum
Plums are among the most, if not the most, adaptable tree fruit crops in the
world, with commercial production in such diverse climates as those found
in Israel, Egypt, China, Norway, Tunisia, and Hungary. This is due to their
widely diverse genetic base. Around 15 species are used either for cultivation
or breeding, and there are more than 2,000 named plum varieties.
