In Serbs, growing plum trees is a tradition. The Serbian plum (Serbian: шљива / šljiva) often referred to as “blue Serbian gold' is the third most produced in the world. Depending on the region, there are several varieties of the plant. There is the Požega Plum, the Italian Prune Plum, the Čačak Early Plum, the Čačak Beauty, the Čačak Best, the Stanley Plum and the California Blue.

In the Balkans region, and Serbia especially, plum is converted into a famous alcoholic drink named šlivovica (plum brandy) (Serbian: шљивовица/šljivovica).

Šljivovica, the brandy made of plums with the exquisite aroma and the fascinating taste, has become the first trademarked Serbian brand with geographical origin.

Apart from being famous for preserving tradition and using a countries-old recipe to distil unpolluted ripe plum into this unique brandy it is far less noticed that the plum wood is just as equally fascinating in its grain texture.
