If I remember correctly this came from a Verry cherry seed that Vincent planted.
Some say Verry cherry plum is 75% cherry 25% plum but we will never know what pollinated the seed.
The taste is sweet with a slight hint of tartness, with some hint of cherry. Very crunchy and juicy and addicting. When over ripe this taste like toka plum.
For me this is my favorite this season. My family said it is sweet with some tartness, not their favorite.
Graft was 2 years old before it fruited. Was grafted on a sweet treat pluerry fruit. Likely pollinated by pluerries and pluot because it was surrounded by those trees.
@John_P . I had my very cherry seedling fruits this year as well. I like its tartness and sweetness flavor a lot compare with all the others stone fruit too sweet tasting. Specially its harvest in mid August in Seattle areas before summer ending time.
@DennisD they are not an heart shape and about 75% size of the sweet treat on average this year. A couple weeks behind in ripening schedule and more tartness in complex flavor, crispier than sweet treat. Both are juicy. I still keep some inside, some on the tree for more ripeness then taste them again. I picked them in a little early to get away from squirrels for 1st time fruit season. Below the picture of Sweet treat on the right and Vincent cherry plum on the left.
Good comparison thanks! Would your seedling tree spare a couple of scions if I come up in Aug? I could offer some of my best like Luisa which is maybe my best tasting so far this year.
So far we have tasted these on my grafts:
Spring Satin late May to early July #1
Hi @DennisD
We are under Contruction job for remodeling outside and inside for a while, it is not convenient to walk around or doing anything on the property yet so I don’t have any plan on the fruit trees for now. Will let you know if we need anything later. Thank you so much for offering.
Thank you so much for the scion Vince!! Who would have thought my most favorite plum of all time will come from your seedling. I remember you told me that you almost cut it down because it doesn’t fruit, I’m glad you kept it.
Everyone should try the fruit. I rated it 10/10 for my taste pallet .
@John_P i already removed the main trunk old tree. The one had fruits now those from 2 of 3 new shoots 2 years ago. (gave you one for scions) so happy you made it fruit. The only different your tree in the warmer climate looks healthier and the fruit has some little white spot on fruit skin similar look with Verry cherry. Mine look more solid red in the cooler climate. My tree was not much new grow this year fortunately the fruit ripened before summer end and the tastes more and more interesting to me after more ripeness every day.
Oh wow so the Mother tree is gone. Glad we got some scion before it being completely gone. My graft also had limited growth. I know I asked you to save me more scion but if it is limited don’t worry about me and just give Dennis and Murky.
I noticed that too about the red color of your fruit. But they look similar especially with your description.
