Experiments were carried out during 2001-05 in AES Felin (Poland) and a private orchard both located in Lublin area, using trees of 10 plum cultivars. The choice of cultivars varied in consecutive years. After fruit set, ca. 50 percent of the fruitlets were removed by hand at different times and fruit quality was evaluated just after harvest. The effect of time in which thinning was performed on fruit quality was not consistent and differed between years and cultivars. In most cases, thinning significantly increased fruit fresh weight, but this increase varied during the period of study. A tendency toward an increase in soluble solids and dry matter content in thinned fruits in relation to the control ones was observed
