Abstract

This report provides information about the development of a new fruit tree crop in Australia. Mume (Prunus mume) is also called Japanese apricot, or ume or sometimes confusingly plum. Agronomic data has been collected based on the performance of five imported cultivars in grower trials in five states and from two research station cultivar trials in Queensland. The production of an alcoholic beverage called umeshu or plum wine is reported.
