Shiro plum pollinators
Comments (6)I think shiros might be more self fruitful than is commonly believed. While it used to always be said that shiros need a pollinator as they are only partially self fruitful, I have seen some resources in recent years that indicated they are mostly self fruitful (not just partially self fruitful). About 10 years ago I planted one in a new residential neighborhood with no other plum trees planted within a quarter mile that I could find (other than my two European plums) and none I ever identified within a mile other than the ornamental red plums so common in parking strips in the West. The shiro always bloomed well ahead of my euros. Yet there was never any shortage of fruit set on the shiro. To the contrary. The dang thing sets so many fruit it needs to be thinned to increase fruit size....See MoreBlack Ice Plum Pollinator
Comments (23)Will americana pollinate the Bruce plum, too, do y'all think? I have both of those but the Bruce hasn't flowered yet. I know it needs a pollinator, and I'm hoping my wild plums will do the trick (I read he's half Chickasaw plum?). I have wood of that americana, too, if anyone needs that :) Any time. It's a wide tree by my woods across the road. (The fruit is pretty big for a wild plum, but I won't know if it makes tasty preserves until later in the year.)...See MoreAsian plum and hybrid Asian plum pollination with Asian apricot
