Geography / Relief and climate
This fruit is resistant to low temperatures. Given its early flowering period it may be affected by spring frosts. It prefers temperate climates, but grows well in relatively cold climates if planted in sheltered sites. The European varieties are fairly resistant to spring frosts, whereas the Japanese cultivars are more demanding with regards to temperature and humidity, and are grown in south- and east-facing exposures. For this reason the plum tree is grown all over the Spanish geography.
The plum tree is grown all over the Spanish geography, although particularly in the Autonomous Region of Extremadura followed by Andalusia and Murcia.
