\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Menryka<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> variety (stabilized from a commercial hybrid in 2005 by German collector Reinhard Kraft<\/strong>) that produces 1.8 oz (50 g) plump reddish-pink plums with a sharp pointed tip, setting about 8 fruits per truss. Tested in USDA Zone 4, it offers a balanced sweet-tart flavor ideal for whole-fruit canning and performs especially well outdoors when trained to 2-3 leaders. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, mid-season variety with regular leaf foliage. The fruits are compact, plump reddish-pink plums with a sharp pointed tip, averaging around 1.8 oz (50 g). Flavor is pretty solid with a nice bit of sweetness and tang, making it a great variety for canning. I trained it to a single leader in the greenhouse, so my greenhouse yield ended up just average. Sets about 8 fruits per truss.<\/p>\n

The last photo shows a plant outdoors grown from a sucker I rooted in June*<\/a>. Looking at how that one did, I can tell this variety will produce great in the open ground if you run it on 2-3 leaders.<\/p>\n

Judging by the info I dug up online, this is a hybrid that was dehybridized by Reinhard Kraft back in 2005\/<\/p>\n
