From the sounds of yours and others reports, a peach or nect on Citation doesn’t sound like a good combination.

If you have enough water and want a very small tree, it could be OK for peaches, but I think Nectarines are a bit less vigourous and I’d avoid them on Citation in the future.

On spacing, would 15ft be sufficient, or maybe more for the full size Myro trees? Also, how are pluots usually shaped? Open center like a peach/nect, central leader like a pomme fruit or oval like a plum or cherry?

15 feet seems like a lot to me, but I suppose if you have the space it would be good. You’d have plenty of space to work around them then and avoid them growing together. Even at rentals where I wanted to space things out, I only used 10 feet…at most.

I’m not sure of the ideal shape for plums. I’ve been cutting them back to whatever fits in the space, mostly central leader when the tree cooperates. I think if you have enough space, open center would be good.

Sounds like juju’s don’t like your climate, I thought they’re more of a West coast/southern type of fruit. Have you ever got any to fruit properly for you?

The So I planted in 2011 has been fruiting well for the last 3+ years. But, 95% of the fruit is on the South side of the tree, which I think demonstrates the need for sun.

Here’s a pic of a branch on the South side of my So. [image] Here’s one on the NW side. It is also shaded a bit in the afternoon by the roof, so it gets less sun than the branch in the first pic. [image] I know I mentioned the same thing very early in the thread, but figured that these pics are pretty clear. Also, Raf asked for pictures of productive jujubes. There are some other branches with intermediate light which have intermediate amounts of fruit. One close to th…
