In the frame of the plum cultivar breeding program 6 new cultivars of European plum ('Alina', 'Andreea', 'Bărăgan 17', 'Renclod de Caransebeş', 'Tita' and 'Vâlcean') were obtained and released during the last ten years.
- 'Alina' – has medium vigor, is male-sterile, fruit ripening takes place in the second half of August, has good productivity, large fruits (45g) for fresh consumption and processing.
It has important perspectives for extension in Romania.
- 'Andreea' – medium vigor, self-fertile, fruit ripening in the second half of August, it has resistance to Plum-pox, good productivity, the fruit has 35-38g and is suitable for drying (21% dry matter) but also for table use.
