Abstract

Six exotic Japanese plum accessions, namely, Black Amber, Cherry Plum, Queen Rosa, Ruby Sweet, Florida 1–2 and Shiro 14-4 were evaluated under midhills conditions of Himachal Pradesh. Black Amber had lowest canopy spread, while Florida 1–2 had earlist leaf emergence and flowering. Accessions Ruby Sweet, Black Amber and Florida 1–2 were most promising for commercialization in the state.
