My Citation rootstock, a peach x plum hybrid, will start flowering this week. Since the pistils are sterile, I will try to save the pollen and see if I could cross pollinate with a cherry.
This is a Floyd Zaiger creation.

I will also use Citation’s pollen to pollinate my Flavor Top Nectarine.
Cool flowers. The look like mostly peach, since they are borne singly. Post again in a couple days when they are all blooming.
I have Redhaven as my sole fruiting peach (I just planted 3 more peach varieties) and it totally disappoints with its small non-showy flowers.

I will.
Here they are again. Even thought the pistils are deformed, I pollinated them with Santa Rosa plum pollen. Who knows? I might be the lucky gardener who will get fruit from this plant.
