    Lovely work & shape of the tree. Great tasting analysis of the fruit. Just one suggestion that could you tell the temperature of the day or the season in which you make these videos cause that will help alot for the viewers in matching their climatic timings for planting same trees.

    Hey Bob. That's great input. We started harvesting these last week and are still finding that they're needing to ripen on the counter. If we could keep the birds away that long I can see where we would need to let them ripen further as well.

    Hey RDC, great question! It grows just fine, but we have yet to see any fruit production from it. We have one on the new farm, but it's at least a couple of years from production at this point. I don't have access to this one on the old property, so not sure how it's doing.

    Hey Dwayne, do you have a favorite between the plums and hybrids?

  • @EdgeofNowhereFarm

    @EdgeofNowhereFarm

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hey there! The hybrids are superior in taste and fruit quality, but you need a pollinator for them to fruit. Our favorite is the Sweet Treat Pluerry, but you need a Burgundy plum to pollinate it. That combo will give you amazing fruit and strong production.

    Hello, how far apart are this trees? I want to plant 2 asian pears like that, they supuso to grow 8 to 12 feet max.

    Hey Maria! These trees are about 2 feet apart which is about as close as you would want to plant a semi-dwarf tree. It sounds like you have a couple of semi-dwarfing Asian Pears, so you can do it this. Just be sure to prune them nice and heavy in the offseason and fertilize them regularly.

    Will planting a pluot pit/core result in a pluot tree? Or will it yield plum or apricot tree? Pardon my ignorance

  • @EdgeofNowhereFarm

    @EdgeofNowhereFarm

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hey Miguel, that's a great question! Pluot trees are hybrid trees that are grafted onto root stock. Strange as it may sound, planting the seed (pit) will usually result in a tree that is the same or similar to the root stock. So it would depend on what the root stock is and that could be one of several different types of stone fruit (peach, apricot, plum, etc). Either way, it might be cool to see what you get!

    Sorry to hear about those plums, we know just how you feel. This time of year it's hit or miss with the birds and the organza bags, but they usually work pretty good. We don't put anything in there to deter them, so if a particularly rambunctious bird wants in they'll peck their way in.

  • @EdgeofNowhereFarm

    Great question and I would say it depends on the Pluout. We've had some very sweet pluouts that rival/surpass the taste of a fully ripened Santa Rosa, but they can vary quite a bit in flavor. The Flavor Finale Pluout is hard to beat if you can get one fully ripened!

    Hey Rob. I don't know whether or not this is producing on the old farm (we know the new owners, but we don't go over there), but our tree here on the new farm is going into it's third year of growth this season, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
