Vigour 70-80%, ramification flat and good, tolerant to plum pox but quite a lot of root suckering generatively propagated down to INRA 2 good anchorage. 

Vigorous (100%), but considerably more fertile than Myrobalan, fairly resistant to nematodes and root rot, susceptible to plum pox. 

A major problem of plum cultivation in Europe is the viral disease plum pox, which cannot be directly controlled. It is not widespread in northern Europe but determines the choice of cultivars in southern and southwestern Europe. Damsons are generally preferred in Germany and eastern Europe, whereas plums and greengages are more important in other countries. Professional advice should always be sought when choosing a cultivar for a particular locality.

Virus diseases cannot be controlled. The highest priority must therefore be given to ensuring that the planting stock is clean. Even so, re-infection often cannot be ruled out in the case of many virus diseases, e.g. plum pox in plums and apricots.

Nonetheless, some activities may be mentioned, ranging from phytosanitary improvement to genetic manipulations mainly of fruit trees with the aim of inducing pathogen (virus) resistance [101,102]. Examples are viruses of stone and pome fruit trees (e.g. plum pox virus [103]) and of vine. The complete nucleotide sequence of plum poxvirus has been determined [104]. A second aim is to revitalize old strains of fruit trees and other cultured plants.
