Hello all,
I've been interested in the American Beach plums (Prunus maritima) since I first read about it on the book " Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden" where Lee Reich seems very found of this species... but I never found or knew anyone growing this species in Europe so far...
I would like to know other opinions on this species ... does it really worth growing?... are the fruits good?... Is anyone here growing some selected varieties of this species ?... are they different enough compared to other common plums to deserve growing?... I know that they have smaller fruits compared to normal "Prunus domestica" plums but I do not see it as negative as I would like to have smaller plums on my collection...
Anyone here interested in trade some cuttings/scions of this species?... I have several plum rootstocks ready to be grafted I now it's time to do it...
I can trade for myrtaceae seeds or any other stuff I have... please PM if interested...thanks in advance...
I remember reading also about an even smaller American prunus fruit... Western sand cherry... Prunus besseyi is the name... any comments on this one are most welcome too.
