Ive also tried planting varieties to extend my harvest from May to December, and in the time period between strawberries and peaches, I have thornless blackberries(triple crown and whatever variety my neighbor gave me) that produce very heavily all summer and fall until they get frosted out, and I added a Yellow Transparent apple tree. It looks like Petrivka pear fruits even before the early apples, so Im debating adding that as well

Sounds awesome good luck with it!!
Japanese, Euro, pluots and peaches I have grafted on plum.
If you ever come on this side you’re welcome to come here and grab scion. I would try Dapple Dandy. I love the bush cherries, yes for sure grow them. I make a syrup and it’s so good. I have Juliet and Wowza. Juliet is awesome!!

I do spray my trees so all I can say is it only takes a few sprays to keep safe from PC and brown rot. Pluots are brown rot magnets. Plums do well with protection. Only minimal protection is needed. Never seen brown rot on Nadia.

Maybe I’ll try planting Spring Satin (plumcot) as the framework tree since it’s a bit hardier, probably better suited for my slightly colder winters, and it’s also semi self fertile. Then try grafting pluots, Nadia, apricots and Japanese/hybrid plums onto it.

Sure I think that would be fine.
