Was tempted to buy it on a whim, but managed to slap myself out of it as had serious doubts it would be any different.
I shop there all the time so i might just yield to the curiosity lol

v. glitzy graft sprung a sturdy upright in just two wks. Not just the most vigorous on its own roots(as a young seedling) but also the most vigorous as a scion. Looking forward to some fruit later this year.

Nice!! Mine has a few flower buds too.
I donât have pollinators this year. A few mason bees and some wasps and another bee/fly looking thing. No houseflies. No lady bugs. No butterflies. Very cool spring. Very early bloom. Wind from hell. (Well, maybe not hell because the wind is not actually very hotâŚbut youâd think I lived in the Texas panhandle because itâs that kind of wind!). Sure donât know where all the bugs are and it makes me worry about fruit production. But if jujubes are pollinated by wind then all yâall should be receiving some of my pollenâŚ

I have a last years graft of Sherwood. It was just a little bark graft that was a regraft of one scion that didnât take. It has grown really well and has numerous long fruiting stems. To get to the point⌠this is a picture of one of the bloom clusters.
So⌠I know blooms donât equal fruit and I know the Sherwood is stingy with fruit. So my question is this: is this typical of the bloom clusters and fruit is just not produced or does it drop fruit or what? Was just surprised to see so many blooms here. All the fruiting stems are like this.

sherwood does the same exact thing here, producing lots of blooms but relatively few fruits. That the flowers have formed complex clusters indicate that the wood is quite seasoned, which means you are likely to have more fruits with this fruiting stem compared to a stem of same thickness and length but only has one or two blossoms per node.

After looking at the no root situation last summer I can believe it is very vigorous. I didnât think it would live.
My Sherwoods have lots of flowers and few fruit. But thereâs a guy in Farmersville Tx, 30 miles from me, who has 300 Sherwoods he planted in the mid 80âs; his trees are always loaded. So maybe if wait my trees will get better.

When he planted them he wanted to sell powder and extracts as heath supplements, but found various regulations too daunting. Now itâs a pick your own orchard and he donates the money to his church

not a âprecociousâ seedling, but a long fruiting stem from an old root sucker. If it does not produce an upright stem this year, this fruiting stem will be shed by winter, which means there will be no above-ground proof of its whereabouts
