General Fruit Growing

I am not sure @jrd51

We did have a long hot late summer thru fall dry spell last year.

Both prok and especially JT02 are very healthy looking trees… and they both bloomed in year 2.. set fruit and later dropped it.

But in year 3 last year both had no blossoms at all.

3 year old barbaras blush, kasandra, IKKJ and 2 year old H63A all bloomed, set and ripened fruit.

I am hoping that prok and jt02 were just resting a year.. to have a awesome year this next year.

Both Prok and JT-02 are somewhat known to be droppers when they’re younger, though not as bad as Nakita. Some people seem to get lucky and have the right combination to avoid it, but I found both took a while to really hold much fruit.

This was year 4 or 5 with my Prok and there was more fruit than I could eat, but last year she dropped a couple hundred and only held a dozen or so. Hopefully we are past the dropping years now. We’ll see this year.
