Abstract
The obtaining of blackthorn×plum hybrids is greatly facilitated by using a pollen mixture of different plum varieties (as compared with pollination by each plum variety separately). This also holds for the backcross to the plum, where the plum is the pollen parent. The cross sand cherry×plum only succeeded when plum pollen was mixed with myrobalan pollen. A number of triple interspecific hybrids has been obtained.
