Topend plum, Topend Plus, European late plum
Germany
-
Late September to mid-October
The Top End plum originates from Germany and was developed at the Geisenheim Research Institute by Prof. Dr. Helmut Jakob. It is a late-ripening European plum variety bred to improve fruit quality, size, and storage capability. Today, it is cultivated in many European orchards, particularly valued for its late harvest season. The Topend Plus plum matures very late, usually between the end of September and mid-October (around the 13th week of the European plum season). This variety is appreciated for its extended harvesting window, allowing growers to provide fresh fruit later in the season. Thanks to its firm flesh and protective skin, the fruit has excellent keeping quality, maintaining both flavor and texture long after harvest.
Refreshing, sweet, and aromatic flavor.
The fruits are large, oval to slightly elongated, weighing 60–70 g. The skin is dark blue with a moderate waxy coating, smooth, and glossy. The flesh is greenish-yellow, firm, juicy, aromatic, and sweet with a mild acidity. The stone is medium-sized, oval, and semi-cling to the flesh. Ideal for fresh consumption, jam production, desserts, beverages, and long-term storage.

You can purchase seedlings of Plum Top End at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
