Same here. All other plums/pluots/Pluerries are done blooming. I’m having to look hard for any viable FK pollen to hand pollinate EB. Bees are visiting it but do they carry the compatible pollen from 2 weeks ago?
The earliest plums have finished flowering and are rapidly leafing out in the east San Francisco bay area.
Here is today’s photo of a Satsuma, Elephant Heart, Flavor King, and Cambridge Gage (still fairly dormant on right) top worked to an old purple leaf ornamental plum bush.
And D’Anjou pear…

Flavor Supreme (Pics from April 9th)- Already thinned all doubles and bunch of others, but still needed to thin more. So hard mentally to thin this pluot.
