The scientific research was carried out in order to create new genotypes of fruit and berry crops with high economically valuable traits, resistant to biotic and abiotic stressors in the Far East region. According to the results of the competitive testing of plum varieties and forms bred by the Far Eastern Agricultural Research Institute in accordance with a complex of economically useful traits (winter hardiness, productivity, tree growth moderation, fruit taste qualities) the Chinese plum variety of selection of the fruit growing laboratory of the Far Eastern Agricultural Research Institute Miss Khabarovsk was selected (the breeding number 4-10). The morphological, biological and economic characteristics of a new plum variety are given. The fruits are of medium ripening, with an average weight of 63.4 g, dark red. The pulp is rough, juicy, very good sweet and sour taste. The fruits contain: dry soluble matter – 14.2 %, sugar – 9.1 %, acid – 1.3 %, pectin – 0.52 %. The fruit ripening is average: the third decade of July – the beginning of August. The fruiting is good, at the age of 7 years the yield was 96.8 kg/ha. The fruit tasting assessment is 4.8 points. The feeding area is 3.5×3.5 m. The variety is of universal use. The trees are medium-sized, compact, highly winter-hardy. In 2021, the branch of the State Variety Commission for Khabarovsk Krai conducted an expert assessment of the economic usefulness of the variety's breeding achievement. In 2022 the variety Miss Khabarovsk was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use in the Far East Region.
