About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You’ll appreciate ‚Gerema’ as a German breeding in the shade plum type, especially valued for its good tolerance against monilia scorch drought, the disease that plagues the classic ‚Schattenmorelle’. It is self‑fertile and highly productive. An honest garden sour plum that causes little worry.

You’ll find dark, juicy fruits with strong acidity and good aroma. Its strength lies in processing: as juice, compote, and in jar preserves, it brings much flavor to the shelf.
