Davidsons Plum - Smooth

D. johnsonni - Unfortunately, it's probably just the gardener, but I have had little luck trying to grow these. I have a couple from many years ago that are still only 30cm high and one is just starting to flower! The last couple I got died despite following directions to the letter for their propagation. D. jerseyana seem to grow as easily as weeds in the same area, so it remains a mystery to me. I really want to get these endangered species established to compliment the other two species.

Davidsons Plum - Smooth

Went well in pot in half shade sun. Almost carked it in spot a year after planting. The sun is fierce now. I am going to cincture and removed all fruit. Mulched & built up soil / humus plus more water. Better even after 43 deg heat Jan 2017 Hunter coastal
