With ACN sometimes it is worth calling, as their website does not always accurately reflect their stock.

Spring Satin plumcot.
I know this thread is a 2020 one - but thought Iâd ask all who planted one, how Spring Satin is doing. ?
I picked one up at a Kroger grocery store, a few weeks ago, for 12 bucks. First plumcot weâve ever tried.
We planted it close to a Santa Rosa and a Toka. I just read about the recommended pollinators and saw that Metheley is one. I have some Metheley scions, from other forum members, to graft this week - and those should help pollinate the plumcot.
I have jumped on the âspray wagonâ, for the first time this year - and hope to see a HUGE benefit from that, with all the trees we have planted . . . especially some of the âdudsâ.
Both Spring Satin and Moorpark were very small - potted and grown in fabric netting bags, intended for planting with the tree. First time I have ever seen plants sold this way - and especially out in front of a grocery store chain!
This 2020 thread has been very helpful - thanks, @mamuang, @Ahmad, @NoVA, @ltilton and @gdostie-montreal

I grafted Spring Satin onto Black Ice last year. The scion grew fast. I think it has flower buds. I donât see any dieback yet. I am in Can zone 5a (USDA 4b). I will report back later.

Spring Satin is early and an excellent plumcot. A definite keeper for me. Iâm adding a second graft this year to get more fruit, and have a backup. I do not want to lose it.

Spring Satin was my first fruit tree purchase, almost 10 years ago. I love it! Disease resistant and prolific. Usually ripens by mid June here in 7b Maryland.

ditch the fabric. even biodegrable burlap donât degrade fast enough to not stunt the plant

I have only had SS a few years but it is becoming one of my favorites. No disease yet and has a good taste.

I bought mine from Vaughnâs this year. Itâs small but beautifully shaped and vigorous. This forum is dangerously enabling. Also snagged an AU Rubrum which I only found out about reading through these forums. Hide your wallet!

anyone have a report for these in the maritime pnw (western oregon/wa/bc)?
There are a couple small branches,that were added about two years ago,to a Plum tree,that may fruit this year.
A bench graft,done a few years ago and left in a pot,made one fruit and it was good flavored.Not having much space to plant,I gave the thing to a friend,last month.

It was a very vigorous tree, but I have not eaten from it much. It is very sweet, when picked soft ripe. I moved to CT several months ago, I am considering planting it again.

Thanks! 
Just saw your post again - and thought Iâd add . . .
I have a ready âself-soothingâ rationalization mantra for this . . .
âWe have saved money on sooooo many other things during this pandemic. The cost of my fruit hobby/obsession is a drop in the bucket compared to all the restaurant, travel and shopping âwastes of moneyâ that happened before!â Ahhhhhhh . . . now I feel justified. Do you?

Can anyone comment on when they expect Spring Satin to be ripe in my area? I thought it would be earlier, but the one I picked today was still only 12 brix and a bit sour (as well as not colored all the way through.
Also, it seems completely without fuzz and a bit more pointed, than some of the pics Iâve seen. Do I have a normal plum instead?
