Kirschpflaume

Baumschnitt der Kirschpflaume

 

Die Kierschpflaume wird als Großstrauch oder als Baum gezogen.

Oft wird nur Querwachsendes, zu Steiles, zu Dichtes oder Überaltertes, Erfrorenes, Krankes ausgeschnitten

Doch kommt es der Qualität der Früchte zugute, wenn man sie, wie Pflaumenbäume sonst auch, nach den Regeln des Baumschnitts für Steinobst zieht und schneidet.

• Neben Baumschnitt-Basiswissen finden Sie  h i e r die Schnittanleitung für die Kirschpflaume! 
• Fruchtausdünnung: Besonders bei Pflaumenbäumen ist es ratsam, bei zu dichtem Fruchtansatz eine Fruchtausdünnung durchzuführen. Zu viele Früchte am Baum führen zu kleinen, schwach aromatischen Früchten und zu Astbruch! Wie bei einer Fruchtausdünnung vorgegangen wird, ist  h i e r  beschrieben.

 

Landscape Uses:Specimen. Requires a well-drained moisture retentive soil. Succeeds in light shade but fruits better in a sunny position. Thrives in a loamy soil, doing well on limestone. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers some chalk in the soil but apt to become chlorotic if too much is present. A very ornamental plant, it is sometimes cultivated for its edible fruit, unfortunately this is not often borne in large quantities in Britain, but large crops are produced every 4 years or so[K]. There are some named varieties. Included as a part of P. divaricata by some botanists though others include P. divaricata as a sub-species under this species. Most members of this genus are shallow-rooted and will produce suckers if the roots are damaged. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus. Special Features:Attractive foliage, Not North American native, All or parts of this plant are poisonous, Blooms are very showy. The plant is heat tolerant in zones 9 through 1. (Plant Hardiness Zones show how well plants withstand cold winter temperatures. Plant Heat Zones show when plants would start suffering from the heat. The Plant Heat Zone map is based on the number of "heat days" experienced in a given area where the temperature climbs to over 86 degrees F (30°C). At this temperature, many plants begin to suffer physiological damage. Heat Zones range from 1 (no heat days) to 12 (210 or more heat days). For example Heat Zone. 11-1 indicates that the plant is heat tolerant in zones 11 through 1.) For polyculture design as well as the above-ground architecture (form - tree, shrub etc. and size shown above) information on the habit and root pattern is also useful and given here if available. A sprouting standard sending up shoots from the base [1-2].

Edible Parts: Fruit Seed Edible Uses: Fruit - raw or cooked in pies, tarts, jams etc. The size of a small plum with a thin skin and a nice sweet flavour. The flesh is somewhat mealy but is also juicy[K]. The fruit can hang on the tree until October[K]. The fruit is about 30mm in diameter and contains one large seed. Seed - raw or cooked. Do not eat the seed if it is too bitter - see the notes above on toxicity.

Dye Hedge Hedge Rootstock Shelterbelt A green dye can be obtained from the leaves. A dark grey to green dye can be obtained from the fruit. Makes quite a good windbreak hedge though it cannot stand too much exposure. Often used as a rootstock for the cultivated plums, giving them a semi-dwarfing habit.
