Thanks! Each tree has 3-4 little clusters like this I think. I’ll have to go through carefully and look since it’s so small.

every year I feel far behind. my starts are hardening off and going in. my trees are leafing out. and all the photos of fruit and forming fruitlets makes me feel so so late.
it’s even people in my own zone, even people in my region. everything is always behind, it seems. then explodes all at once.

@belowtheterrace … in case you did not see this in the goumi post.
Right = Carmine goumi
Top = Red Gem goumi
Left = Sweet Scarlet goumi
For me here in TN… RG ripens first… SS ripens a week to 10 days later… and Carmine ripens between those two.

Aurora, 11 months since planting. I hope the cuttings I’ve taken will root. I have some older variety older bushes that bear about this much and apparently need replacing.

Is there much of a difference in flavor between the three?

@armeniangreg … no sir… very little if any difference in their flavor.
My taste buds are not functioning 100% this year from a head cold or allergy thing my wife and I both got a couple weeks ago.
It is lingering on… (not CV, flu, strep) per doc… but what we call the crud.
I have tasted red gem and sweet scarlet for a few years now… and no real difference in their flavor. This is my first year for carmine and I have eaten several now back to back with the others… and detect no significant difference in their taste.
Nice mild fruity flavor… mildly sweet and tart.
No real wow to them but every day I go out there and eat several.
My wife’s sister adopted a little girl from China a few years back… and yesterday she visited with us. That girl absolutely loved goumi… she ate at least a couple hundred and took a ziplock bag full home with her.

I’m jealous, lupine won’t grow here. I’ve tried many times, just gets too hot

We pulled wild lupine up out of the corn & beans for years.

Found it growing where my (dead) red currant was last year. I know some people love these, but I hate them, so I planted it in my neighbor’s yard.

Ummm yeah. Go wolverines!
Wanted to do the same to the anonymous hunter who placed their high-seat right on our property line and knocked down two of my service tree grafts. But then I realised I would just punish myself as the blackberries would move from the seat to our land in no time.
