How to Grow a Plum Tree from Seed - Flowering at 74 Months! How to grow Plum Trees from seed series! kzread.info/head/PLKJSapt21HvWuC8ty0PDsM7Z2EZg_db8h This update is the 74 month mark and we FINALLY have some flowers. In the last video, he was 51 months old and he didnt flower at the 63 month mark but NOW he is flowering! I am super excited to see how this plum tree progresses over the next several growing months! If you'd like to help support the channel, please check out the membership link: ttps://kzread.info/dron/NA5isHAqEIalpI7ZeGL_7Q.htmljoin Notes: The plum seeds that I am using in this series were purchased from an organic grocery store but I think these may have been hybrids now that I see the two types of plums (one may be a peach tree) growing. I left the plums in the fridge for more than 3 extra months - a form of stratification, if you will. After several months in the cold fridge (when they were near rotting) I removed the seeds. Then I used a small hammer to crack the seed shell and remove the actual seeds. Next, I tested the seeds for viability by soaking them in water for about an hour to ensure the seeds sank (this usually means that they are viable seeds). I then used the wet paper towel/ziploc bag method to create a mini greenhouse for them and placed them in a warm dark place. Finally, after 3 weeks, 2 of them sprouted. I waited another week to ensure the roots were healthy enough and there was some green seed leaves emerging before I transplanted them. I am excited to see how these plum trees grow over the next several months.

An orange tree from seed fruiting? That sounds really great, how old is it? I think that citrus trees from seed need to become quite large to fruit, right?

Currently have my own peach and plum trees I started from seed about 2 years ago, they look great! Took a lot of inspiration from your older videos.

Thank you!

Shout-out Rob 📣 It makes me happy to hear about your plum tree. Keep up the awesome work. Nature rocks! 💚 Beautiful share 👍

Oh rob your finally here, back with the tree from seed update😊, love your videos, so entertaining 🎉

Oh, I only now noticed you uploaded an update, those are a lot of blossoms for its first time! I hope you will get a lot of fruit set!

So satisfying... It's so nice when a plant tells you its happy.

Great series 🙌🙌 🌼

Looking forward to the taste test, hope all grows well 😀🇺🇸

Yay!! Can't wait for More Updates!!

6 years is a long time to wait for stone fruit trees to flower. As long as it flowers it's all good, Rob. Thanks for the update.

This is great !! Looking forward to the future updates. I’m curious about the kiwis !

I was typing on my phone and the alert popped up and I said cool

HAHA - thanks brother. Been a bit since I posted a video here...

Great to see you back Rob. Looking forward to the peach update video. My peach tree (grown from a plum seed, like yours that died) is only a year old, so it’s great to see what I can hope for in future!

Very cool Rob! I’ll definitely be waiting for another update!

congrat for the flowers...i share ur happiness, it's so satisfying and rewarding getting positive results after so many months/years of efforts and patience. We love Growing trees, they are like babies! I'm from Algeria, i'm trying for a while (over 5 years) to replicate/grow a rare plum tree (i think i kind of Queen Elizabeth plum tree) from my grand pa legacy... unfortunately without result, i tried all options such as grafting and so on... but till today not with seed, as i was afraid not to get the same plum after so many years and efforts. But, gosh after watching your video... we live only once. I'm starting today this experience of growing plum tree from seed... God bless you for sharing your experience and your time, you are almost there only 4 months and you will be able to taste the holy plum fruits. keep us updated

So happy for you 😊 I subscribed to your channel and gave a like 👍 Thank you for sharing 🙏

Hello congratulations on your flowers!! I have a plum tree I got from the nursery, and I was just wondering , when and what should I fertilize it with ?

@RobBackyardGardenerr

I do spring and fall

I hope my trees I planted in 2015 and 2016 flower this year too. Mine were nursery bought and suppose to fruit in 3-5 years. I put in nut trees too, but I don't expect nuts from them for 20 years. I might as well not expect nuts from them in my lifetime the way things go for me.

I have a plum that's a seedling of the Robusto plum. It bloomed a little and made one plum in its third year. It made more last year and has a sizable crop this year which will ripen in about the second week of June. Robusto is red and a hybrid between the Asian plum (which is what your black plum seed parent likely was) and chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia). Robusto itself is nearly pollen sterile, and the pollen parent of the seedling is most likely a wild-type chickasaw plum. (I didn't have any cultivars with good pollen at the time.) Many Asian plums are hybrids with weak pollen and are therefore most productive if they bloom with a wild type of the North American parent species. The fruit of the seedling is red, smaller than Robusto but not by much and tart-sweet. The underlying flavor is more like wild-type chickasaw than Robusto. It's good enough to keep, but I doubt that I will give space to another seedling again. I had a second Robusto seedling which germinated at the same time and which I use as rootstock for a hybrid cultivar called Flea Market. It's pretty good rootstock, and it has suckered, so I now have Robusto and Ruby Sweet on the strain as well. Flea Market is a natural dwarf itself, so it worked out great. Robusto gets huge, so I wanted to see if it would have a dwarfing effect on it. The trunk is tiny in comparison to the Robusto scion, so there is no obvious dwarfing effect one year in, and it may have problems supporting such an aggressive growing strain long term. The small trunk is a result of the wild plum genes. The seedling with fruit is more in line with the size of a wild-type tree than Robusto. Anyway, you may end up needing a better pollenizer for your Methley since there is a really good chance that your seedling will have really weak pollen. It will be interesting to see how the fruit turns out if you get any, and it will be interesting to see if you have pollen sterility issues. I'm guessing you know whether it has set fruit by now. You will need to spray for curculios if you haven't already done so or if its not too late. Good luck.

Hopefully you can get a good amount..... jelly? Wine?? Fruit trees are awesome

Nice

if it was a black plum the seed came from it's probably a european plum tree and probably self fertile. that methly plum tree is going to need another japanese plum or something similar to pollenate it tho. european and japanese plums aren't compatible. great to see an update though! nice looking tree!

finally an update

Plums are yummy yummy

Hey Rob! Just started a bunch of honey crisp apple seeds about 2 months ago and they’re all about 6 inches tall. I live in New York and I’m wondering when an appropriate time would be (if any) to plant them outdoors in year 1. The alternative is to grow them for a year in my greenhouse but I think that might stunt the tap root. Great videos!

Rob!!! Welcome back!! Any avocado updates?

Update soon!

Must be all that Texas Sun !

I watched your video series from the first seedlings, very interesting. I purchased a plum tree that was about 4 ft tall from Home Depot. It is now in it second year and bearing fruit (I realize the HD does something to make this happen and I am the benefiter of that and not the cause). I found your video because I took one of my plums and I now starting to germinate the seed. My question is, should my seed grow into a tree and bear fruit in two years like its parent tree did?

@RobBackyardGardenerr

Ай бұрын

No, my plum tree took more than 5 years to bear fruit and although it is possible to bear fruit sooner from seed, it is unlikely. Most fruit trees are grafted from an already fruit bearing tree which is why they produce much sooner.

can u give us an update on the kiwi's pls love u keep it green :)

fruit set update pls

I will. We have tons of fruit set!

I stumbled back into this video somehow- did any of the plums ripen yet? if so how where they!

Still have snow on the ground here. Jealous

It's nerve wracking when the trees are flowering, and you don't see bees.
