The aim of the study is to evaluate plum growing in different regions of Latvia with innovate crown pruning system (Heka espalier). This paper covers the first results obtained in the Research and Study farm “Vecauce” of LLU where the trial was established in spring 2018. Control cultivars ‘Jubileum’ and ‘Victoria’ were compared with cultivars ‘Ance’, ‘Adelyn’, ‘Sonora’, ‘Laine’ (bred in Latvia), and German cultivar ‘Tegera’. P. cerasifera rootstock was used. Only 1% of trees perished during the first four growing years. All the other trees were without cold damages. In the first years, ‘Sonora’, ‘Jubileum’ and ‘Viktoria’ had significantly stronger trees. The first year of plums’ harvest was 2021. Cultivar ‘Victoria’ had the highest yield. By choosing the right growing place and planting time, healthy growth of trees is ensured even in less favourable growing years.
