Stone fruit trees for Western PA

Hello,
Have you seen @scottfsmith’s thread on stone fruit.

Scotts stone fruits variety experiences 2005-2015.

It was a bit older thread but had a lot of useful info.

To me, Indian Blood Free is too tart for my liking but many people love it. Don’t know much about Peregrine. There are so many good peaches.

Re. Plums, although most E plums are partial fruitful, it is better to have cross pollination partners. I like Empress, Coe’s Golden Drop, Vision and French Improved. Mirabelle is good, too.

Toka will need the right cross pollination partners. I like Laroda, Lavina and Elephant Heart. J plum needs cross pollination. You can plant one and graft other varieties to it.
