The paper considers the possibilities of expanding the assortment of plum cultivars in world production by hybridising large-fruited myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) cultivars with those of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and other diploid stone fruit species. Because of many years of breeding work in Russia, cultivars of a new hybridogenous species Prunus × rossica Erem. (Russian plum) have been created, which can ensure a stable supply of fresh fruit from late June to September and complement the assortment of common plum cultivars. A description is given for the best adaptive, high-yielding cultivars with good taste and high canning qualities — ‘Kubanskaya Kometa’, ‘Globus’, ‘Gek’, ‘Iyulskaya Roza’, ‘Dynnaya’, ‘Kolonnovidnaya’, and ‘Podarok Sad-Gigantu’. The efficiency of their cultivation using intensive technologies and own-rooted plants, as well as clonal rootstocks bred at the Krymsk Station, has been shown. It is recommended to carry out intensive cultivation of Russian plum using medium vigorous rootstocks like Kuban 86, Evrika 99, Zarevo, Fortuna and dwarf rootstocks VVA 1, Best, Upryamets and VSV 1.
