General characteristics
The tree is moderately vigorous to vigorous. The crown is sparse with narrow pyramidal form. The branches are well garnished with fruiting wood. It belongs in a group of mid-early flowering cultivars. It is a self-incompatible cultivar. Fruiting begins slightly later, but after that cropping is moderate and regular. In field conditions, under natural pathogen infections pressure, Lana shows no susceptibility to the Polistigma rubrum (Pers.) DC, Puccinia pruni-spinosae (Pers.: Pers.) and Taphrina pruni (Fuck.) Tul, while sporadic symptoms of brown rot can be observed pointing at moderate susceptibility to Monilinia laxa (Aderhold & Ruhland) Honey. Lana is tolerant to Sharka virus (plum pox virus).
