FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS OF WILD PLUM (PRUNUS DİVARİCATA LEDEB.) GENOTYPES NATURALLY GROWING IN HIGH MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF CENTRAL ANATOLIA
Prunus divaricata is a wild plum species also known as cherry plum within the Rosaceae family. This species is wild growing, diploid, self-incompatible fruit tree that widely distributed from the Balkan Peninsula across Anatolia and the Caucasus to Central Asia, including northern Iran.
