Montmorency Cherry and Nadia Cherry Plum Blossom. 4.23.19

Montmorency Pie Cherry.  4.23.19

Most of the sweet cherries are done blooming - Ranier, Sweetheart, and Vandalay.

Nadia Cherry X Plum hybrid MIGHT have some fruits.  I'm not sure.  It looks like most suffered some frost damage, vs. did not pollinize.  I need to be patient.

Of the other Asian type plums, it's hard to say.  I think there was some frost damage, but the embryonic plums may still emerge.

Pie Cherry Montmorency.  4.17.19

This is peak bloom time for sweet cherry varieties Vandalay, Sweetheart, and Ranier, as well as for Montmorency.  I don't think Montmorency pollinates the sweet cherries, and is self pollinating.  The sweet cherries look like they will have a good crop this year.

I planted Vandalay and Sweetheart from shipped bare root trees from Raintree in 2012.  Ranier was a bare root tree from BiMart in about 2014.   Montmorency was from Home Depot, I think in 2010, and I replanted it to the Battleground orchard in 2012.  It was a ball and burlap tree.
