Red bayberry2 - I’ve changed my mind. I LIKE the fruit. The problem was I was eating them too early. Fully ripe they lose the spearmint flavour . Must wait for the fruit to be deep , ruddy red I have not been paid for this message haha..6 days 20hrs
Red bayberry1 - Finally after 8 years a seedling bayberry fruited. The berries are about the size of a marble , tart but interesting flavour. Can only eat 5 or 6 . Is this all I can expect or the absence of x pollinator has stunted the fruit?..11 days 14hrs
Trouble with my moorpark apricot - Moorpark is a finicky variety A friend nearby got a good crop and I had nothing despite the tree being 3 metres tall. Here’s some possibilities # the tree needs x pollination # It has imperfect drainage Apricots are sensitive # they are not true clone..27 days 20hrs
Moorpark apricot tree still has some leaves - Respectfully disagree. Wounds heal faster in Spring so apricots are recommended to be pruned in Spring to prevent fungal infections. There’s no evidence that wound sealers etc work. ..51 days 7hrs
Deep pink peach cherry plum tree - Peach Fragar is deep pink Here is a hint Seedling peaches often come true to parent or very close. They fruit as quickly almost as grafted trees ..51 days 7hrs
