Curious to know what the heat requirements are for pluerry trees. My understanding is that in these hybrids the first half of the name is the part that dominates. So this would be plums. Those grow well here in our 10a/sunset 17 climate. Cherries can be good but aren’t as reliable since they definitely enjoy more heat than plums.
Can anyone out there confirm? Or reject? Wife says next tree has to be for the kids so that’s where the pluerry choice comes from here. All I know about them is that they’re plum and cherry mix and the kids devoured them when wife brought some home from Trader Joe’s last year. Advice appreciated.
They’re just low chill Japanese plum trees for purposes of growing them. They’re not self-fertile, so you’ll need two Japanese plums (or close enough hybrids) with overlapping bloom times for fruit.
got it. i assume cherry would pollinate as well? we have existing cherry tree, but no other plums and neighbors dont have any either.
i guess i could try and graft another variety of plum or pluerry if cherries wont work.
