Sonoran plum
« on: March 28, 2019, 12:00:55 AM »
Anyone have experience with these?  I guess native to the Baja peninsula.  Saw it for sale at a local nursery, but, don't know enough about it to want to purchase.  Anyone know if self fruitful?  Fruit quality? 
I guess it is in the cashew family.

supposedly self fertile but limited online info. I would say most likely it is self fertile due to the unforgiving environment of the desert and less likely for multiple plants to survive in close proximity.

Cool! I just learned about a new tree today.
If you don't mind, what nursery did you see it at?

Tropica mango in east Mesa.  It is a seedling.  If you buy it, you have to let me know how it did and let me try the fruit, lol.
