Correct, elliptical and avoid leaves.

On separate branches, not mixed on the same branch?

Yes, separate branches.

I pruned the two branches with the elliptical leaves because they were overtaking the main stem with intermediate leaves. I thought that I had killed it because that was two weeks ago, but now it’s starting to leaf out again with the intermediate leaves.

Here it is again, it transitioned from ovate leaves to elliptical leaves. So it looks like the nectarine genes are dominant over the apricot genes? Or possibly it was a defect?

On my three-way hybrid, a plum x peach x almond hybrid, the peach leaves are dominant over the plum leaves despite that the Myrobalan x Japanese plum is the seed parent.

Very exciting! Glad to see they are doing well

It appears that way for the leaves. As for the remainder of the morphology, that remains to be seen.

Will be interesting to see them fruit. If they do.

Are you going to be grafting scions from it to other trees? To try to speed up maturity or just to have it growing multiple places to avoid the whole thing being wiped out if something happens to one plant

Yes, perhaps you’re aware of Zaiger’s Genetics?
Yes, I’m going to be grafting a couple of scions onto my proprietary F1 Myrobalan plum next year. What’s interesing is that this past February, I grafted Flavorella plumcot scions that were just three inches long onto my F1 Myrobalan plum and five months later they are almost five feet tall. So so hopefully, my nectarcot is also graft compatible with the F1 Myrobalan plum and by the end of 2027, hopefully they reach a height of six feet tall.

@itheweatherman are you developing a rootstock or a good tasting fruit with characteristics of all 4 species? Either way is really cool!

My apologies, I might’ve confused you with my wording, so I edited to be more clear. I don’t have a four-way hybrid yet, but I do have a three-way hybrid that is 50% Myrobalan plum, 37.50% peach, and 12.50% almond. My goal with that hybrid is to create a rootstock that is both wet soil and drought tolerant that is compatible with all stone fruits.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. This is truly priceless work!
