Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Plum Tree (Prunus Domestica L.)

Plum (Prunus domestica L.) is one of the most widespread species of fruit trees in South-East Europe. Because of its fruits, it has been cultivated for centuries. The emergence of plum pox virus caused the disappearance of a large number of „old“ plum sorts. There is no chemical agent to combat plum...
