Hows it looking? I have most trees doing nothing yet. A couple starting to flower. And this florida prince peach is almost ripe! 3 or 4 more weeks to go before they are in season. I put in about about 30 stone fruit trees in the last 2 years. Im starting to think that may have been a big mistake with the weather we had this winter. May have to switch to mangos.
both my Flavor grenade and Burgundy plums finally breaking dormancy.
My stone fruits have all been disappointments. It seems the ones that flowered and fruited heavily last year have no fruit set this year. Inca plum looks to be my only constant producer. Some are still young but the majority are eyeing the chopping block to be replaced by sub-tropicals.
Come on people, if you want banner crops year in and year out, buy fruit at the store. Fruit production is highly dependant on climate/weather. Weather is fluid...so what your trees will do from year to year will vary. By the "chop it down cause I didnt get a million fruit" theory, nobody would be growing fruits of any kind.Oh, 3, 4 and even 5 year old trees, still in the juvenile stage.
