Summary: Phenological cycles of crops are sensitive to climatic variation, so their study is important for the evaluation of new crops for fruit production in different regions. In this way, the present experiment was conducted from August to December 2010 with the objective of characterizing the phenological stages and the effective fruiting of plum cv. Reubennel, cultivated in the semi-arid climate of the São Francisco Valley in Northeastern Brazil. Phenological data (stages) were determined in the orchard in daily observations, from bud dormancy to fruit maturity. Under semi-arid conditions the phenological cycle of fruit production of the plum cv. Reubennel was completed in 132 days. It is possible to obtain the production of plum fruits under semi-arid conditions. The continuation of this type of evaluation is necessary to generate a plum production system under semi-arid conditions.
