I’m hoping to exercise some self control and just order a few trees this year:
Pearl European Plum, Teton de Venus Peach, Rainbow Stripe Cherry, Minnesota 1734 Apple, Franklin Apple (if I can find it), and maybe a persimmon if Just Fruits & Exotics offers anything new this year.
Some plum trees,
prune de ente 707
satsuma
Ouillins Could not help myself 19.99
Rosy gage 19.99 could not help myself again
empress,
valor,
victory
maybe one more I can’t tell yet
Been going back and forth on peach’s
Siskiyou black berry
Tayberry blackberry
Raspberries Ones I had complete failure
Means on order
Still need to find source for empress, valor that is definitely carrying them.
Oh and going to raintree class learning to graft!
Edible Landscape sent out some fantastic Jujubes this year that many on this site were very happy with including myself. Here is a good topic that speaks to what you are getting after I believe. Honey Jar and Sugar Cane Jujubes just became available!
I’ve ordered Reine des Mirabelles and Reine Claude d’Oullins E. Plums and Stanwick Nectarine from Arboreum. Will order one or two jujubes. May order a few rootstocks later in the year. The rest will be grafts.
Did we ever get a solid consensus on whether Nadia was worth ordering, or whether there’s definitely a short stem sport of Nadia that technically wouldn’t be under the patent?
My impression is that Nadia is OK but nothing special. That’s how I feel and seemed to be what many felt. Any version will be under patent. Discuss that via PM .
I placed my first order just now. I say first because though I tried to control myself, I’m sure it won’t be the last. I placed an order with Cummins for GoldRush apple, Lavina plum (on the basis of Scott’s stone fruit review), and Bavay’s Green Gage plum. Euro plums are dicey here (Bavay’s has lower-than-typical chill requirements, but I’ve also heard that greengages, mirabelles, etc, don’t develop the same flavors in the heat) but I love their flavor so much. I’m not even really sure where I’m going to put these new trees, but one way or another they’ll find a home.
No I don’t sell. I already have 4 HC, 4 more would make 8. I just give them away but I also press them into cider for sweet apple juice and hard cider. It takes a lot of apples.
