Need help about soil for VENGERKA PLUM-Tree?
The varieties Vengerka Donezkaja rannjaja and Vengerka Jubilejnaja Khramova are cultivated in the Institute for Agriculture and Viticulture of Bavaria.

The gardener told me, they hate water-logging, therefore be careful with the clay content.

They grow best in not too heavy, humous, water- and air-permeable soil, best pH about 6, if more than 7 a fertilizer with pH about 6-6,5 - as taken for semi acid-loving plants - should be used.

As root stock St.Julien A, Ishtara are the best varieties to graft on.

And they asked, from where you get the trees.
Reply:The plum you are asking about is a garden plum (Prunus domestica) grafted cultivar.

gives a pH range of minimum pH: 5.6 ? maximum pH: 7.5

Zone 4-9, sandy loam preferred but sandy-clay loam acceptable.



Optimum soil mineral percentages for loam are: Sand 30-50%, Silt 30-50%, Clay 20-30%, Organic material 7-10%.



sandy clay loam may be 55 - 90% sand, 35 - 55% silt and 20-40% clay plus organics
