Flowers. 4.4.17

Charlotte Peach. 4.4.17

Daffodils in flower border. 4.4.17

Lots of flowers blooming. If the peaches and plums didn't bear fruit, they would still be worth growing for their flowers. Most of the daffodils were ones that I recovered from the old yard. They established and are flourishing. Some are from random acts of daffodil bulb planting that I do each fall.

What's Blooming. Backyard Phenoogy. 3.3.16

Flowering Rootstock Growths from Ornamental Cherry. 3.3.16

El Dorado Peach In Bloom. 3.3.16

Shiro Plum Bloom, Almost Open. 3.3.16

Some of the trees in my old yard in town. The rootstock for the 50? year old Kwanzaa? cherry has nice ruffled, but single, pink flowers. Much earlier than the main tree. I leave those there for the nice flowers.

I grafted both Kwanzaa and rootstock onto separate wild cherry root stocks. The wild cherry root stocks are probably sweet cherries.

Hollywood plum is fully open. Shiro is almost open.

Hollywood Plum Cuttings. 12.9.14

Hollywood Plum Cuttings, Root Growth. 12.9.14

Hollywood Plum Saplings. 12.9.14

Today I dug up the remaining Hollywood Plum cuttings. These were hardwood cuttings taken, I think, in April. They were treated with rooting hormone then stuck into the soil in the tomato bed. They did not receive any special treatment, other than what the tomatoes needed.

I did the same with Shiro plum. None grew. And with an ornamental quince - not sure if any grew, need to check again.

I potted them up. I don't know what I will do with 6 new plum trees. Two have bud grafts of Shiro. It's a wait until Spring to see if those take.
