Kajszibarack

Kajszibarack, also known as the European plum, is a deciduous tree in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated for centuries for its edible fruit. The tree typically grows to a height of 5-10 meters and has a rounded crown with smooth, gray bark. The leaves are alternate, simple, and ovate, with serrated margins. The flowers are small, white, and fragrant, and are produced in clusters in the spring. The fruit is a drupe, typically 2-3 cm in diameter, with a smooth, glossy skin that is usually purple or black when ripe. The flesh is juicy and sweet, with a distinctive flavor that is often described as a cross between a plum and an apricot. Kajszibarack trees are often grown for their ornamental value, as well as for their fruit, which is used in a variety of culinary applications, including jams, preserves, and desserts. The tree is also valued for its resistance to pests and diseases, making it a popular choice for home gardens and orchards.
