I may have harvested a little early. I did not want birds to steal the only fruit.
The flavor was sweet, with a fruit punch flavor. Not exactly plum, not exactly cherry. Nice refreshing flavor.
It's too early to recommend the tree. The leaves have a leaf-curl-like disease, so it's pretty ugly. I don't know if that will affect bearing.
Have never seen this Pluerry. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Zaiger hybrid form California. Marketed by Dave Wilson Nurseries. I bought from Raintree. Not proven in most places, including this one, but the flavor is nice.
ReplyDeleteThese are freaking delicious bro. You need a burgundy plum near to pollinate, but other than that the tree produces relatively large harvest for the first two for me..
ReplyDeleteShaun, thanks for the input!
DeleteThis year it set a lot more fruit, a couple dozen. Which is pretty good for a young tree. I don't have the Burgundy plum, but I do have to red-leaf plums. One is an ornamental, "Crimson Pointe" which blooms earliest, and the other is "Hollywood" which overlaps more with Sweet Treat. I cut blooming stems from both and placed them in the Sweet Treat tree for pollination, and that seemed to work very nicely. If I had to bet, I think either would work, but most likely it was the "Hollywood" plum.
