I'm not sure what changed. I did hand pollinate with flowers from Hollywood plum and Shiro. I left those branches in the tree for insect pollination, too. Maybe that was it, or temperature / rain difference.
Looks like potential for a great crop.

Have a hit or miss pollination problem. One peach and one plum have no fruit at all. I didn't know there was no pollination until it was too late. I guess it bloom too soon and the other tree wasn't blooming at the sametime. Cute dog!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I like to graft other varieties within the same tree. I feel like it improves my chances for good pollination and fruit set. But Crimson Pointe is ornamental for the columnar shape and color, so I haven't grafted onto that one.
