Morphological characteristics of fruiting twigs were studied in 20 plum cultivars, at the Radmilovac Experimental Estate, of the Faculty of Agriculture in Belgrade, Serbia. The two-year research (2005-2006) was focused on following characteristics: twig length, number of fruit and vegetative buds and their ratio, as well as the thickness of a year-old shoots and the length of internodes. The results indicate that in the plum the fruit buds are considerably more present on spurs than on shoots. Cultivars with a higher number of fruit buds per unit length (such as Bluefree, President, Zimmer Fruehzwetsche, Stanley and Cacanska Rodna) require severe pruning in order to achieve better quality fruits and prevent the stripping of branches in the crown interior. Unlike them, in cultivars that have a lower number of fruit buds per unit length (Imperial, Jelica, Victoria, Italian Prune, Pacific) a lower intensity pruning can be applied.
