My proprietary Chocolate Emerald hybrid plum is starting to leaf out. It is a cross between Santa Rosa plum, seed parent, x Krauter Vesuvious Myrobalan plum, pollen parent.
Weatherman, do you grow all your trees in pots? Seems like most of your pictures are of potted trees? How old are your oldest potted trees and what size pot do you have them in?
Do you expect any fruit set on your Chocolate EMerald hybrid?
Yes, I grow most of my trees in pots.
The oldest trees, planted in 2012, are the Bella Gold Peacotums.
I expect my “Chocolate Emerald” plum to bear fruit next year.
Are you raising the Chocolate Emerald as an ornamental? It seems unusual to name a fruiting plum before it has fruited.

Right now as an oramental, but I’m also expecting to taste its fruit.
