Early Romanian variety with large fruits, high yield, and weaker vigor.
'Carpatin' is a high-quality Romanian plum variety bred at the Piteşti – Mărăcineni institute. It is valued as an early table variety with large, attractive fruits. Due to its weaker vigor, it is suitable for higher density plantings, but it requires a pollinator as it does not produce its own pollen.
Main advantages of the variety:
Early ripening (mid-July).
Large fruits (40 – 50 g) with balanced taste.
Stone separates well from the flesh.
Weaker vigor (suitable for high-density planting).
Very high and regular yield.
