In my area Shiro is not self fertile.

Are there plum varieties that are actually sour? I keep seeing references to “sour” plums, but descriptions will say they are sweet. Am I misusing “sour”, when I mean “acidic”?

Thank you for your help. But I do not have access to that section, as I am a newer user, and also I cannot even send you a message. So I am shut off from the post, and probably won’t get replies

Let me look into it. I am surprised you cannot access the category section.

Greetings! my name is Leonard and I am new to this site. There, somewhere was (is) a lot of discussion about thornless berries, i.e. Marionberries. I patented the Thornless Marion Berry, known as Willamette Thornless Marionberry in 2017. The plants may be available through Willamette Fruit Company in Salem, Oregon. I sold the patent to them several years ago. It is a wonderful berry! Thank you, Leonard.

This year I tried grafting Shanxi Li Jujube onto my “Pink Baby” apple I grew from seed. I used a “Eugene F. Skinner” quince (a variety I found) as interstem.
Google said it will not work, wrong species…
But it appears to be pushing out a little green bud… Which is definitely surprising!

I have a 3 year old pomegranate tree that produced 25 poms last year. (So much fun watching fruit develop and ripen and so delicious!) Fast forward to end of May this year, and so far not a single blossom. Easy winter, no late frost, it’s just like the tree forgot how to produce fruit. It gets lots of sun, on a drip, and weekly fertilizer. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this for 2026?
