| Crimson Pointe Plums. 7.11.15 |
The Crimson Pointe plums are ripe. Small plums, juicy but not watery, and a nice plum spiciness. This plum is ornamental but the fruits are tasty. Just not a marketable size. The tree is no-maintenance.
I bought the Bella Gold Peacotums (peach/apricot/plum hybrid) at a farmer's market. Initially I didn't think much of them. Just kind of a generic stone fruit flavor. After they ripened for another day, they seem sweeter, and I can taste the mix of flavors from each parent. They are pretty good.

Have not ever seen a golden plum. Wow looks yummy. I just ate plums from friends' house. Mine didn't have any fruit this yr:-(
ReplyDeleteI hope you will have a great plum crop next year!
ReplyDeleteHi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and just put some plum pit in kitchen paper towel in the fridge and also peat. Paper towel seems the better success. I have about 10 successes and are just finishing the transfer into little pots inside and will had spray and watch them. I hope they grow to trees. Should I have the seed point up and root down into the soil or just anyway and inch under the soil. Can you advise me please? Should I spray with worm wee too?
I would be grateful for any help. With thanks Janine
Janine, I think you are doing great. Growing fruit trees from seeds, is a gamble but fun. I don't think it matters whether the seed points up or down. The worm fertilizer is a popular choice, I don't think it will hurt and it might help.
DeleteGood luck with your little trees!
