one year old sweet treat pluerry bloomed
Comments (13)Fruitnut, The rest of the branches are sending out leaf buds. They are just delayed a little bit. It didn't abort any flower buds. I had to thin down from about 100 fruitlets to 10-15. Based on what I have seen on mine I don't think it is lack of chill. My winter is so warm that most trees suffer from lack of chill to some degree. Pluots that are rated 400 hours do well for me with half of that. Very productive, eventually leafing out normally. The pluerry is behaving like my pluots that receive lack of chill. Apricots and cherries are another story. My dapple dandy is a perfect example. It is rated at 4-500 hours but usually gets about half of that. It starts by leafing out and blooming sporadically in the spring. It always ends ends up healthy and vigorous with plenty of fruit in late summer: This post was edited by econ0003 on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 14:00...See MorePlums and Pluots and bing cherry grafted on wild plum trees.

Comments (6)mrough: Don't have proof but suspect that Flavor Grenade is self fruitful. However a pollinator would be good insurance. Burgundy and Santa Rosa are recommended and are good fruit. I'd think that Geo Pride, Splash, Emerald Drop, or Flavor Finale would be good pluot pollinator candidates. Another would be Flavor King. Many think it one of the all time great fruits. I'm pretty sure it would pollinate FG. Only downside would be that FG and FK mature at about the same time. The pluot I've mentioned are all great fruit so take your pick....See MoreSt Julien A rootstock
Comments (2)@ Itheweatherman, For many decades St. Julien is the most common rootstock for Europe. in itself it's a rootstock with many opportunities. in this part of the World it is the most inexpensive rootstock for stone fruits. Good features are: mainly both drought as well as use for damp soils. Depending on soil type they, do sucker. Fairly susceptible to bacterial canker. less well, tree height about 16 ft. very cold resistant, early fertile, easy to propagate by hobbyists.' good luck with 'Nadia' alcedo...See Morenorthwoodswis4
