Baby tree already budding!
I put in two young fruit trees a few months ago. An apricot, and one
month later, a plum. Yesterday I saw blooms all over the plum! Sweet little tree, just a baby, already trying to procreate! I assume there won't be fruit this year...but you have to hand it to the plum for trying. I just found this so touching! HB |

Plum trees really need a pollinator, you should have planted two different plum trees. And there is a good chance your plum and apricot trees will cross pollinate and produce pluots. Newly planted stone fruit will usually blossom the first year but may not fruit for 4-5 years. I planted two different plum trees four years ago, they blossomed each year but this is the first year one produced plums. |

I had the same combo -- plum and apricot -- for years at approx same distance apart. They produced true fruit. When they had to be sent to fruit heaven, I should have IMMEDIATELY replanted. Instead I let too many years ago by. So I hope I'm still around when they produce fruit. |
