Kuban Comet (Prunus × rossica 'Kubanskaya Kometa') was developed at the Krymsk Experimental Breeding Station in Russia in the late 1970s. It is a hybrid between Chinese Plum (Prunus salicina) and the plum cultivar Pionerka.
The medium to large teardrop shaped plums ripen in late July. The skin changes from yellow orange to red and remains tart and resistant to cracking. The bright yellow flesh is sweet, juicy, and clingstone.

Kuban Comet is partly self fertile, so a single tree can set some fruit. A second compatible variety may improve the crop. A Russian nursery record names Mara, Puteshestvennitsa, Pramen and Podarok Sankt Peterburgu as partners, and we do not sell any of them.
