all my fruit trees are in bloom

14 years ago

Well my plums are just about done, My apples just started and the pear is gone gangbusters. The two new cherries I planted last fall are blooming too. I even think I saw flower on the currant bushes.

Any one here growing fruit trees? I think everyone should have at least one fruit tree in their yard.

We have had 2 pear trees for about 5 years and they never did anything. In March we did some pruning and now one of them is covered with flowers. When we bought them, we were told they had 3 different types of pears on them. We'll see what we get. They are gorgeous in flower. The Saskatoons are doing great this year and the crabapples are budding up and about to open.

Thanks, I just spoke with the local nursery today and they have a free seminar coming up April 28th on Fruit Tree care and maintenance. So I will be attending that and trying to educate myself more about them. They told me just leave them there for now, since the trees are blooming and it's not a large infestation. I'm going to bring in some samples and pictures when I attend the seminar. All the trees set a lot of fruit. Last fall we had over 200+ Apples combined, about 30-40 between the 3 Asian Pear trees, and another 50 on the Bartlett tree. That was with only spraying Bonide once after petal fall. I gave up because I had no clue what I was doing. The only thing that happened last year was what I think was Apple Scab ( from googling pics ) so we tossed all the Apples. All 4 Pear trees were fine, no insects or disease and had tons of fruit. I will definitely check out that book and most likely won't be going organic after Petal Fall. I figured it would be easier and cheaper using home remedies, but I just want nice fruit so not a big issue with me. :)

Look on Utube. There is videos of the way people net them. There was some similar to what you did, but I think they hooped it with sprinkler tubing.

storkace: You did the right thing by picking off all the flowers. Don't worry about the tree. Branching will come. I would be pretty pleased to have a precocious flowering Calville Blanc, which is ordinarly pretty slow to begin bloom. I have a couple of them here, and even grafted one for my son on M-7. Calville is a unique apple, but I have not found it easy to grow, nor highly productive. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA

Why no blooms on any of my fruit trees?

iamzvonko, I also live in northern Ohio. My cherry and plum tree didn't bloom this year either. I think it was the frigid winter. It takes colder weather to kill a tree than to kill the fruit buds. So my trees are still alive, but no blossoms. All of my other fruit except my blueberries suffered severe winter damage.

Your pictures are great. We have a Bing and a Stella cherry tree, this is there first year. Any advice?
No peaches yet, but maybe this year we will get one.
I usually talk my son into buying me a fruit tree, bush or vine for mom's day. But this year he thinks I have enough plants. What!
I have currants too, but I recently moved them to sunnier locations in my garden. Again I love your pics. I'll see if I can find my camera and take some photos too.

you may be able to grow elderberries in zone 3. Or dwarf fruit trees in containers.
