#1 the Pear (Asian ..
#2 The Plum , Japanese ,,

funny, (not funny. _) I didn't see any blooms on my Santa Rosa plum this year. I was blaming bad pruning, but really, none at all? I didn't shave the thing

My Native Giant Red Plum . Only has very few and sparse Blooms on it , Hmmmm I'm wondering now , What's with ???

Weird. They usually bloom at the same time?

Yes Carrie , They all bloom at the same time here , except the Apple ,,
With Fruit and Vegetable prices expected to go up , I was hoping to do my own juice ,, oh , well ... sigh ..

Sorry.

A lot of people in the same place coming up . not to be sorry about ,, resilient. Hopefully Berry prices won't do the same ,,
I like that growers can make a little profit , But , these every other year crop failures have got to go ,

Morris, Bruce, and Ozark Premier plum trees are loaded with very healthy fruit which looks like it will ripen about the middle of next month.

Peach and nectarine trees are growing a moderate crop; I might have pruned them too closely, but the ones that mature should be large and juicy.

Fig trees–two different cultivars–both look like they are going to take a rest this year.

Some of the pecan trees are showing new babies, little brown spots on the female flowers.

I’m neither gloating nor whining, just passing on information.

Have fun.

How do pecans gerow? I love to eat them (but not to shell them).

Go to http://northernpecans.blogspot.com/ for more pecan info than one can digest at one sitting.

Thanks. ^_^

“about the middle of next month” has passed. The Morris and Bruce are ripe but have no flavor. The chickens don’t even peck the drops; there’s no varmint sign either. Sugar concentration, it seems, is not high enough to grow a meager crop of brown rot. The Ozark Premiers were tasty but gone now. Chickens would fly to the lower limbs, at times.

The tastiest of all the plums were off an old Methley which has found a new and productive life. I chainsawed her back to a manageable size five years ago. I hated to do it, but she had outgrown me and my equipment. She had a mate–bought and set at the same time–which I also docked the same day. (after the Methley wood cured, I BBQed some chicken with it–overpowering) The mate didn’t survive the docking. It had always been the inferior of the two. (a recently-set LSU Purple fig presently utilizes the spot) The Methley’s growth was too dense for the chickens to gain a perch to dine, but they would always check her first along Plum Row for drops. She’s a good tree.

The early peaches are not sweet, but early peaches, to me, are never good as the later ones. But they are not sweet even by early peach standards.

The blandness, I attribute to too much water, dilution. May was a wet month, and over six inches have fallen thus far in June.

Not to fret, there are plenty of vegies.

Have fun.

We went to a Pecan Stand or something last week. They had pecan fudge and pecan oil and whole pecans and crushed pecans and glazed pecans and spicy pecans and etc. ad nauseum. I do love pecans, however, so I bought a pound of pieces and some butter pecan fudge which was not worth the hype. There were no pecans growing in evidence, though. :(
