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.

Genetic Dwarf peach in container, north side of house, El Dorado, in bloom.

Hollywood plum is fully open.  Shiro is almost open.

Peaches have set. 4.2.15

Genetic Dwarf Peach Set.  El Dorado  4.2.15
Peaches have set on the containerized El Dorado peach tree.  It looks like there could be a big bowl of peaches from this tree.  That's all I need.

I kept it out of the rain all winter, under the eaves, north of the house.  Looks like it worked  - I don't see any leaf curl at all.
